Create a Branch

Following Ticket-based engineering principals, you will link your work item with a branch from the Git repository. We can create a new branch and link our work item to that branch simultaneously.

• Make sure your branch is based on your forked Git repo and the main branch.
• By connecting the branch directly off the ticket, the work item should already be linked (otherwise add it here).

In order to merge changes, you must have a linked work item to your branch. This will be discussed later during the pull request.

Now that your branch is created, ADO will take you to your forked repo with your new branch! You are now ready to clone the repo and make local changes.
