Azure-devops-cli-extension: [Feature Request] Export existing Pipeline Releases and Steps to yml

[deeco]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Would like to source control steps and reproduce pipeline release multiple times using yml

Describe the solution you'd like
to be able to export or view existing working release pipeline yml to reproduce similar envs

Additional context
Ive looked at the az pipelines release list and the rest API , the project link contains all the data but unclear how to format as yaml to create new release pipeline

[deeco]

believe I have workaround with view yaml for each step and joining each step together

Hey @deeco , thank you for the request. I think this is a full blow migration tool in the form of a command which I fear we may not be able to prioritize at the moment. Let me check if there are any existing tools to convert release pipelines to YAML. However, in the absence of such a tool, you could potentially use az pipelines release commands, as you mentioned, to view release definition and then map it to YAML steps by yourself as desired.
