You will also set up continuous integration, branch policies and gated check-in to guard your sources from bad code coming in that does not compile or contains bugs, so you keep your source code repository clean and in an always shippable state. By the end of this course, you will know all the fundamentals to set up source control in Azure DevOps and how to work with the Git source control system efficiently.
