Pull Requests in Azure DevOps

In this episode, Robert is joined by Brian Randall, who shows us the new Pull Request experience in Azure DevOps Services. Brian reviews the process of creating and approving pull requests and highlights the new and simpler pull requests UI. The new experience is mobile-friendly and faster, and includes several new features that help you review pull requests quicker and improve your overall pull request experience.

This was hella of a good video. Having used Azure DevOps for years, I still learned a few things. Thanks!

I like to write # sign at the begining of the commit message, then id of the work item, it automatically binds to work item. Eg #122 - tmp commit msg

Good explanation of the merge types, thanks. I have a question though - why don't we have a proper "new pull request" experience in the Visual Studio Team Explorer? I have a robust CI/CD pipeline, and approval groups set up for PRs. it'd be great if I was able to just create the PR from my day-to-day tool - VS 2019, and move on to the next change, without having to annoyingly pop across to the web browser to do that. At the end of the day, the PR will be auto-completed when approved by my approvers, and merged, triggering my CI/CD process. So I really don't need to go to the web browser for *anything* other than the act of creating the new PR, and I find that super annoying.

Hi, I hope there is some way Azure can remove the requirement for credit card for free tier after making sure the account cannot be used for commercial, illegal or large scale purposes. I want to learn and test out azure so that I can use it for a freelance project when opportunity arises next or use the knowledge in a job search. I have phone, email, debit card etc for verification. Thank you for your efforts in putting the video online during this time of crisis.

I might be short on knowledge in this but I don't see the "conflicts" tab after creating a "Pull Request" This has the "Resolve Conflicts" option, that helps deal with Merge Conflicts. Any idea what could be the reason? In my case it's an Azure Data Factory publish branch..

What would be a good demonstration is to demonstrate pulling down the code branch and test run the code.
