Publish your VSTS extension using Team Build and Release Management

While I've released my VSTS Extension Tasks to GitHub and the Visual Studio Marketplace some time ago, I was reminded that I've never really blogged about it yet. You may wonder what it does.

The VSTS Extension Tasks are a set of tasks for Team Build and Release Management to package, publish, share and install extensions to your Visual Studio Team Services account or TFS 2015 update 2 server.

There are quite a few people using the extension to package and publish their Visual Studio Team Services and TFS extensions.

There's a few places with more information on how to use them:

• Getting started with the VSTS Extension Tasks
• Richard Fennel's blog post about them

I'm using these tasks to package and publish my other build tasks:

• TFVC Tasks
• Variable Toolbox

A few other MVPs/Rangers that are using these tasks include Richard Fennel, Rene van Osnabrugge, Peter Groenewegen and Utkarsh Shigihalli and others.
