GitDeltaDeploy: Version 3 – Support for YAML Serialization
Version 3 of GitDeltaDeploy includes support for YAML serialization, which was added in TDS v6 to support the feature in Sitecore 9.2.
This feature was fairly simple to implement in the extension, by simply switching the file extension that’s used in the git diff command.
git diff -r –name-only –no-commit-id $(PrevIdentifier)..$(GitCurrentCommitID) “*.item;”
git diff -r –name-only –no-commit-id $(PrevIdentifier)..$(GitCurrentCommitID) “*.yml;”
Because either file format can be used in Sitecore and TDS, both are supported in this extension.
The GitDeltaDeploy targets file checks the $(SerializationFormat) property to determine which file extension to use. This property comes from the TDS project where you specify which option to use for serialization, so no additional parameter needs to be passed into the build for GitDeltaDeploy to work.

Note: When you first switch to YAML, all .yml files will be seen to be ‘new’…. so the first deployment will be a full deployment. After that, consecutive deployments will properly become delta deployments.
