Azure Repos for source control - Step-by-Step Execution

Process Flow - Azure Repos for source control

Developer writes code

↓

Code added to local repo

↓

Commit changes locally

↓

Push commits to Azure Repos

↓

Azure Repos stores code securely

↓

Team members pull latest code

↓

Repeat cycle for updates

This flow shows how developers write code, commit locally, push to Azure Repos, and team members pull updates to collaborate.

Execution Sample

Azure

git add .
git commit -m "Add feature"
git push origin main

This sequence stages changes, commits them locally with a message, then pushes to Azure Repos main branch.

Process Table

Step	Action	Command	Result
1	Stage changes	git add .	All changes marked for commit
2	Commit changes	git commit -m "Add feature"	Changes saved locally with message
3	Push to Azure Repos	git push origin main	Changes uploaded to remote repo
4	Team pulls changes	git pull origin main	Local repo updated with latest code
5	End	-	Code synchronized across team

💡 Code is synchronized when team pulls latest changes from Azure Repos.

Status Tracker

Variable	Start	After Step 1	After Step 2	After Step 3	After Step 4
Local repo state	No changes staged	Changes staged	Changes committed locally	Changes pushed to remote	Local repo updated with remote

Key Moments - 2 Insights

Why do we need to commit changes before pushing?

Committing saves your changes locally as a snapshot. Without commit, there is nothing to push to Azure Repos. See execution_table step 2 and 3.

What happens if team members don’t pull latest changes?

They will work on outdated code, causing conflicts later. Pulling updates keeps everyone synchronized. See execution_table step 4.

Visual Quiz - 3 Questions

Look at the execution table, what command stages changes for commit?

A git push origin main

B git add .

C git commit -m "Add feature"

D git pull origin main

💡 Hint

Check Step 1 in the execution_table under Command column.

At which step are changes saved locally as a snapshot?

A Step 1

B Step 3

C Step 2

D Step 4

💡 Hint

Look at the Result column in Step 2 of execution_table.

If a developer skips 'git pull', what is the likely outcome?

A Code conflicts may occur later

B Changes are pushed twice

C Local repo updates automatically

D Code is deleted from Azure Repos

💡 Hint

Refer to key_moments about team synchronization and execution_table Step 4.

Concept Snapshot

Azure Repos stores your code remotely.
Use 'git add' to stage changes.
Use 'git commit' to save changes locally.
Use 'git push' to upload to Azure Repos.
Team members use 'git pull' to get updates.
This keeps code safe and shared.

Full Transcript

Azure Repos is a service to store and manage your code safely in the cloud. Developers write code on their computers and use commands to save and share it. First, they stage changes with 'git add', then save them locally with 'git commit'. After that, they upload the changes to Azure Repos using 'git push'. Other team members download the latest code with 'git pull' to stay updated. This cycle repeats as the team works together, ensuring everyone has the latest code version.
