How to get Git Tag in Azure Pipelines

Question

In Azure Pipelines, I have enabled git tags to trigger pipelines like so:

trigger:
  branches:
    include:
    - \'*\'
  tags:
    include:
    - \'*\'
<         


        

Answer 1

When you configure the pipeline to be triggers with tag the meaning that when new tag is pushed the pipeline start to run. so:

1) The pipeline will start from the git tag.

2) I don't understand the question, if you pushed tag test so the tag name will be test.

If you want to know programmatically if the build trigger was a tag and what is the tag name you can check the environment variable Build.SourceBranch if the build is from a tag the value will be: refs/tags/tagName.

So just add a PowerShell task and print the value:

Write-Host $env:Build_SourceBranch
