This command creates a merge strategy policy for a specific repository and branch in Azure DevOps using the az repos policy merge-strategy create
command.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:
--repository-id ${repository_id_in_repos_list}
: Specifies the ID of the repository where the merge strategy policy will be created.${repository_id_in_repos_list}
is a placeholder for the actual repository ID.--branch ${branch_name}
: Specifies the name of the branch where the merge strategy policy will apply.${branch_name}
is a placeholder for the actual branch name.--blocking
: Specifies that the merge strategy policy should block the merge if it doesn't adhere to the configured rules.--enabled
: Specifies that the merge strategy policy should be enabled.--allow-no-fast-forward false
: Disallows non-fast-forward merges. A fast-forward merge is when the branch being merged into has no additional commits since the creation of the branch being merged. Setting it tofalse
means that non-fast-forward merges are not allowed.--allow-rebase true
: Allows the rebase merge strategy. This means that branches can be rebased onto the target branch during a merge.--allow-rebase-merge true
: Allows the rebase merge strategy with merge commits. This means that branches can be rebased onto the target branch and generate merge commits during a merge.--allow-squash true
: Allows the squash merge strategy. This means that branches can be squashed into a single commit on the target branch during a merge.
Overall, this command creates a merge strategy policy that allows rebase, rebase with merge commits, and squash strategies while disallowing non-fast-forward merges for a specific repository and branch.
