YAML_Explication

Trigger: The trigger section specifies when the pipeline should be triggered. In this case, it is set to trigger on changes to the "main" branch of the repository.

trigger:
  - main

Pool: The pool section defines the agent pool and the virtual machine image to be used for running the pipeline. It specifies that the pipeline should use the "ubuntu-latest" virtual machine image.

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

Variables: The variables section allows you to define environment-specific variables that can be used in the pipeline. In this code, it defines a variable called appName with the value "ANGULARAPPNAME."

variables:
  appName: 'ANGULARAPPNAME'

Steps: The steps section outlines the series of tasks that the pipeline should execute. Each step is executed sequentially.

Step 0: Building Process
  *-> This step is a simple script that echoes some information.
  *-> It displays the current working directory and the directory where artifacts will be staged.
  *->This is primarily for logging and debugging purposes.

Step 1: Install Node.js
  *-> This step uses the NodeTool task to install Node.js.
  *-> It specifies that it should install version 18.x of Node.js.
  *-> The task is responsible for setting up the required Node.js environment.

Step 2: Npm CLI, Install, Build
   *-> This step is a script that runs several npm (Node Package Manager) commands.
   *-> It installs the Angular CLI globally (npm install -g @angular/cli), installs project dependencies (npm install), and builds the Angular application (npm run build).
   *->This step is responsible for preparing the Angular application for deployment.

Step 3: Upload Files to Artifact
   *-> This step uploads the built application files to the artifact staging directory.
   *-> It specifies the source directory as $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/dist/$(appName) and assigns the uploaded files to the "drop" artifact.
   *-> This is typically done to prepare the application files for deployment or further distribution.

Insummary: this YAML configuration sets up a pipeline that triggers on changes to the "main" branch, prepares a Node.js environment, installs project dependencies, builds the Angular application, and uploads the application files to an artifact for further use or deployment. 

It's a basic example for CI/CD pipeline for an Angular project.
