How to Dynamically Choose Variable Group Based on Trigger Branch in Azure DevOps Pipeline

If you are using the git branching strategy, in your development, you probably have these three branches that are connected to the following environments.

• feature/* → DEV
• master → TEST
• release/* → PROD

To choose the group variable we use the ‘if else’ statement. so the pipeline will be like…

variables:
  - ${{ if eq(variables['Build.SourceBranchName'], 'develop') }}:
    - group: 'gr_dev_app'
  - ${{ elseif eq(variables['Build.SourceBranchName'], 'stage') }}:
    - group: 'gr_test_app'
  - ${{ elseif eq(variables['Build.SourceBranchName'], 'main') }}:
    - group: 'gr_prod_app'

Add your variable group name in “- group” based on the environment.

Dont forget the triggers to add

trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - develop
      - stage
      - main
