TeamCity tutorial - How to create your first build pipeline (build chain)

Build pipelines are a centerpiece of any CI/CD process. TeamCity's take on build pipelines are build chains, which allow you to set up the order of builds via setting up dependencies between them. This allows for a more versatile approach to pipelines which can save you build time and optimize build resources.

This tutorial goes over splitting a simple build configuration in two, connecting them via both snapshot and artifact dependencies, and running the build chain.

@JetBrains Please provide the repo url or source code for building the dependency job

@JetBrains please explain how you got the Deploy step to auto-start the build job when clicked? I'm having to click on each step to run the build chain.

What a strange ci tool, came from gitlab ci-cd and cant understand how it possible to click on different buttons on ui but not to write down the pipeline configuration file in yaml or something like that - is there any possibility to write pipeline like a code or it has only just buttons and strange web forms?
