## Set up

### Navigate to the Integration settings view

1. Select an app in the top left corner from the Switcher
2. Navigate to **App Settings** by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) at the top of the Timeline sidebar
3. Click on **Integrations** in the sidebar

### **Connect Azure Repos**

1. Find the **Azure Repos** integration module under the **Version control** section
2. Click the **Connect** button – you’ll be taken through a standard Azure DevOps App OAuth flow
3. Azure Repos will redirect you back to Runway
4. Select an Azure Repos project and repo to associate with your app in Runway

### **Add a release tag pattern**

* Runway uses this to read tags from Azure Repos and delineate your releases, and also to generate tags when auto-tagging releases upon completion
* Pattern accepts the string `{version}` as a stand-in for the release version, e.g. `v{version}`

{% hint style="info" %}
Runway expects version strings that adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) principles — formatted as `x.y.z` (representing `major.minor.patch`).
{% endhint %}

### **Add a release branch pattern**

* For GitFlow or similar, pattern accepts the string `{version}` as a stand-in for the release version, e.g. `release-ios-{version}`  
  * You can assign different patterns to different types of releases using the **Release type** dropdown
* Omit pattern for trunk-based, e.g. `main`  
  * Be sure to select **all types** in the **Release type** dropdown

### Add any additional branches

* Working branch: your main working branch, e.g. `development`
* Staging branch: if you create your Release Candidate builds from some branch other than your release branch, set that here
* Deploy branch: if you create your final builds from some branch other than your release branch, set that here
