Using Pipeline to Publish your powershell nuget module

Go to Pipelines, Click New Pipeline

Select Azure Repos Git

Select Starter Pipeline

Clear content

Paste this

name: '$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Build.BuildId)'

trigger:
 branches:
   include:
   - master

variables:
  major: '1'
  minor: '0'
  revision: $[counter(variables['minor'], 1)]
  MODULEVERSION: '$(major).$(minor).$(revision)'
