Question

Your team uses Azure Repos with Git. Leadership requires that no code reaches the 'main' branch without at least two reviewers, all comments must be resolved, changes must be traceable to a work item, and the CI build must pass before merging. Developers must not be able to push commits directly to 'main'. Which combination of Azure Repos branch policies on 'main' best satisfies all these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Enable 'Require a minimum number of reviewers' set to 2, 'Check for linked work items', 'Check for comment resolution', and 'Build validation' as a required policy.

Answer

Add a branch security rule denying 'Contribute' to all developers and rely on nightly pipeline validation to catch defects.

Answer

Enable 'Require a minimum number of reviewers' set to 1 with 'Allow requestors to approve their own changes', plus an optional build validation trigger.

Answer

Create a server-side pre-receive hook that rejects pushes and configure a scheduled release pipeline to gate merges.
