You create pull requests (PRs) to review and merge code changes in a Git repository on Azure Repos. Team members and stakeholders can review changes and give feedback before merging the code into the target branch. Reviewers can also comment on changes and vote to approve or reject the code.
Teams can require PRs for any changes on protected branches, and set branch policies to require certain PRs to meet specific criteria.
There are several ways to list, filter, view, and open PRs for a project.
Prerequisites
List pull requests
You can list PRs by using the Azure DevOps project website, Visual Studio, or the Azure DevOps command line.
Define a custom pull request view
Filtering the PR list helps you find and organize PRs to prioritize the most important files in your workflow.
On a PR Files tab, you can use several filters to select files and comments for faster reviews. Select Filter, and then select among the options.
- Keyword: Enter a keyword.
- Reviewed/Unreviewed: All (default), Pending, Reviewed.
- Commented files: All files (default), Files with comments.
- Comments: Show (default), What's new, Hide.
- Comment status: Active (default), Pending, Resolved, As designed, Won't fix, Closed.
- Commented by: All comments (default), or a specific person.
You can also type a string into the Search field to show matching results from the preceding options.
Open a pull request
When you open a PR from the browser, from Visual Studio, or from Azure CLI, the PR Overview page opens in the browser.
To open a PR in the browser, select the PR from the list on the Pull requests page. The PR opens to its Overview tab. The Overview tab shows the PR title, description, reviewers, linked worked items, history, and status. You can see a summary of branch policies that are passing or failing, and see comments reviewers have made.
On the PR Files tab, you can review the actual changes in the PR files. On the Updates and Commits tabs, you can see changes the author has made to update the PR branch.
To review changes, make comments or suggestions, or approve or vote on the PR, see Review pull requests.
