Also how can we point to a specific branch in azure DevOps that contains a notebook that needs to be triggered by adf?

Hello,
I have two questions about versioning.
1- Is It possible to commit multiples notebooks at once?

2- Is it possible to checkout a different branch in Databricks?
For example I have 2 branchs: master and Dev.

I'm in master branch and I want to checkout to Dev branch and have all my notebooks switched to dev?

Hello! It's a really useful video guys.
I got a question:
I have an azure dev ops service already, it's used for some Datafactory pipelines versions... and as you may imagine, I would like to use it for keeping "a copy" of my db notebooks in case my azure region may be in an outage. Do u guys know what would be the cost $ of creating another project in my dev ops account for users to start saving their work notebooks there?

Informative video☺️☺️. But I was facing one problem. Suppose we have two users, both of them are working on same repo we have one main branch and two feature branch for each user. Lets say user2 made some changes and merge it back to main branch. Now user1 want to get the latest code from main branch in his feature branch doing a pull request. But he is unable to get it? Why?

Really good and precise video you created, i really liked it. I would like to share a small problem as below.

There are 5 developers who are working on one Azure DataBricks project. They logged in into azure with there credentials, developers works on their own branches as below.


Developer Branches
dev1 devbranch1
dev2 devbranch2


like this these developers are working on their own branches but a problem occurs here.


If dev1 updates his code in branch devbranch1 and dev2 is working on his branch devbranch2 than dev2 is able to see dev1 code without checkout his branch. And dev1 hadn't pushed his code into master branch.


do you have any clue why it is happening?

Don't like the fact that it commits straight to origin, is there an option to use this via the command line as opposed to using the gui ?

I do not find it as simple or easy to implement, ended up with multiple errors with git syncing and there are no resources to understand or correct those errors. Having tried for hours I am super annoyed and really really disappointed.
