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

The other answers here cover the first part of the question, so as Alex Kaszynski has already pointed out, you can use a YAML condition:

startsWith(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/tags/')

Getting the tag name is now a bit easier than it was at the time the question was asked:

Build.SourceBranchName

This variable contains the last git ref path segment, so for example if the tag was refs/tags/1.0.2, this variable will contain 1.0.2: the tag name.

Full docs are now here.
