Install-Package IonFar.SharePoint.Migration

The common stack I am currently using to build SharePoint Online solutions generally consists of the following components:

• Visual Studio console application for remote provisioning
• IonFar Migration framework, https://www.nuget.org/packages/IonFar.SharePoint.Migration/
• Office Dev PnP PowerShell Commands, https://github.com/OfficeDev/PnP/tree/master/Binaries
• SharePoint Online Management Shell, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx
• An Office 365 Developer subscription (essential for anyone doing SharePoint development)
• A central Git repository (e.g. Visual Studio Online), for source control
• TeamCity build (e.g. hosted in Azure), for builds
• Octopus Deploy, for deployment

This stack allows automated deployment of the project against a continuous integration (CI) environment. Simple migration scripts (written in PowerShell) are cumulatively run against the environment, and can be easily promoted to a UAT and then Production environment.
