What is the purpose of the dotnet build, dotnet test, and dotnet publish commands in pipelines? Answer: ● dotnet build → Compiles your code and checks for errors. ● dotnet test → Runs all your unit tests. ● dotnet publish → Packages your app for deployment (e.g., to Azure Web App). Example: In a pipeline: - script: dotnet build - script: dotnet test - script: dotnet publish -c Release -o $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) The final publish step outputs deployable files like .dll or .zip.
