I want to add the "bicep-deploy — Copilot Instructions" prompt rules to my project. Repository: https://github.com/Azure/bicep-deploy Please read the repo to find the rules/prompt file, then: 1. Download it to the correct location (.cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .github/prompts/, or project root — based on the file type) 2. If there's an existing rules file, merge the new rules in rather than overwriting 3. Confirm what was added
Description
Azure Deploy GitHub Action
Bicep Deploy - Copilot Instructions
This repository contains the bicep-deploy GitHub Action and the shared @azure/bicep-deploy-common package.
Pre-Commit Checklist
Before committing any changes, always run the following commands in order: • Lint fix - Fix any linting issues `bash npm run lint -- --fix ` • Build common package - Build the shared common package `bash cd packages/bicep-deploy-common && npm run build ` • Build full repo - Build the main action `bash cd /path/to/bicep-deploy && npm run build ` • Run all tests - Ensure all tests pass `bash npm test -- --run ` All four steps must pass before committing.
Repository Structure
• src/ - GitHub Action source code • dist/ - Bundled output that GitHub Actions runs (must be committed!) • packages/bicep-deploy-common/ - Shared library used by both the GitHub Action and the Azure DevOps task • test/ - Tests for the GitHub Action • packages/bicep-deploy-common/test/ - Tests for the common package Important: The dist/ folder contains the compiled action code referenced by action.yml (main: dist/index.cjs). This folder must be rebuilt (npm run build) and committed whenever source code changes.
Common Package
The @azure/bicep-deploy-common package is a shared library that provides: • Azure deployment and deployment stack operations • Bicep file compilation • Configuration parsing • Logging and error handling utilities Published Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/bicep-deploy-common Important: The GitHub Action and ADO Task consume this package differently: • GitHub Action (this repo): Uses the local file path (packages/bicep-deploy-common/), not the npm version • Azure DevOps Task (microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks): Uses the published npm version with a pinned version in package.json (e.g., "@azure/bicep-deploy-common": "^0.0.3-dev") When modifying the common package, remember that changes affect both: • The GitHub Action (this repo) - immediately, via local reference • The Azure DevOps BicepDeploy task - after publishing a new npm version and updating the version in the task's package.json
