Azure DevOps - What is mean by PR? How to create and complete PR? Part-5 #PR

 

Before going to the PR first we need to understand below scenario like:

Suppose we got new requirement or new changes and we can made it in one branch. Now

we need to merge that branch into master branch which is our main branch. Then how we

can do the same?

This purpose is resolved with the help of Pull Request-PR.

What is PR:

PR= Pull Request.

PR is used to merge one branch to another branch with some extra additional features.

What extra feature like – We can see all the changes in file one by one, we can add some

Reviewers to review the code i.e., code is valid or not.

PR is also used for code review purpose also.

 

Let understand how to create PR in Azure DevOps:

Go to Azure DevOps under Repo- Pull Request like:

Let understand practically how we can use PR for merging two branches:

Suppose we made some changes in my VS using develop branch, want to merge the

same into Master branch. Like:

Suppose we made changes in model file like:

Now we need to commit those changes and sync with server repository like:

Now commit & sync is done in develop branch – now we need to push those changes to

the server repository using push option like:

Now in Azure DevOps we need to create PR for this to merge develop branch code into

master branch because we made changes in develop branch and commit & sync the same

again, in develop branch.

Just click on Create a pull request button:

Overview:

At the top box it is showing like we merge develop branch code into master branch - Next

showing title of PR – Reviewer- you can add reviewer who can review the code and

approve the same. Also, you can tag your work item and tags over here. Finally click create

button.

Files:

In files section all related changes are shown here which we made in the code file like:

Commit:

Commit will be showing commit id and name of person like who can made such changes in

file.

 One you create the PR the screen looks like:

So here still our code does not merge from develop to master branch see below:

For doing this one of reviewer must be approve & completed our PR like:

Now we need to complete the PR.

 

Click on Complete merge button. Then the final window looks like:

Now we need to check our develop branch code is merge into master branch or not:

The main purpose of PR is to merge the code from one branch to another branch with

some extra features. What features like we can add reviewers who will review & approve

the PR, We also see what changes are done in this PR etc. 

Hope you understand the concept of Azure DevOps PR and all.

Thanks. 👍🙏
