AL-Go for GitHub

AL-Go for GitHub is a set of GitHub templates and actions, which can be used to setup and maintain professional DevOps processes for your Business Central AL projects.

The goal is that people who have created their GitHub repositories based on the AL-Go templates, can maintain these repositories and stay current just by running a workflow, which updates their repositories. This includes necessary changes to scripts and workflows to cope with new features and functions in Business Central.

The roadmap for AL-Go for GitHub can be found here: https://aka.ms/ALGoRoadmap

Release notes for all versions of AL-Go for GitHub can be found [here](./RELEASENOTES.md).

Deprecations for all versions of AL-Go for GitHub can be found [here](./DEPRECATIONS.md).

The template repositories to use as starting point are:

• https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go-PTE or https://aka.ms/algopte is the GitHub repository template for Per Tenant Extensions. When creating a Per Tenant Extensions, this is your starting point.
• https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go-AppSource or https://aka.ms/algoappsource is the GitHub repository template for AppSource apps. When creating an AppSource App, this is your starting point.
