Design and implement source control

A development team uses Git for source control. They want to ensure that all code changes are reviewed before merging into the main branch. Which branch policy should they configure in Azure Repos?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer pushes a new commit to an existing pull request targeting the main branch. What is the effect on the pull request?

A team is migrating from TFVC to Git in Azure Repos. They have a large repository with a history of 10,000+ commits. They want to preserve the full history while minimizing migration time. Which approach should they recommend?

Which TWO actions should you take to ensure that your Git repository in Azure Repos remains performant as it grows?

An organization has multiple Git repositories. Developers often forget to update the repository README file after making changes. What is the most effective way to ensure the README is always up-to-date?

Which TWO branch policies can be configured in Azure Repos to enforce code quality?

You are a DevOps engineer at a company that develops a cloud-based SaaS application. The application consists of multiple microservices, each stored in its own Git repository within a single Azure DevOps project. The team has grown rapidly, and developers frequently need to make changes that span multiple services. They often complain about the overhead of managing multiple pull requests and coordinating merges across repositories. To improve efficiency, the team lead suggests consolidating all microservices into a single monorepo. However, the lead architect is concerned about the impact on build times, as the CI pipeline currently builds each service independently. You are tasked with designing a source control strategy that reduces cross-repository coordination overhead while maintaining fast, independent builds. You propose using a monorepo with a structure that allows selective building. Which approach should you recommend?

Refer to the exhibit. After executing the delete command, what is the state of the repository?

Match each Git branching strategy to its description.

Refer to the exhibit. A developer is on the 'feature/login' branch and wants to integrate the latest changes from 'feature/user-profile' without creating a merge commit. Which Git command should the developer use?

Refer to the exhibit. A pipeline in repository 'MyProject/AppRepo' is configured to trigger when changes are pushed to 'SharedRepo'. A developer pushes a commit to the 'release/v1' branch of 'SharedRepo'. What will happen?

You are a DevOps engineer for a company developing a mobile application. The source code is stored in Azure Repos (Git). The team uses trunk-based development with short-lived feature branches. Recently, developers have reported that their feature branch builds are taking over 30 minutes, whereas the main branch builds complete in under 10 minutes. The pipeline is defined in a YAML file and includes steps to restore NuGet packages, compile, run unit tests, and perform code analysis. The pipeline also publishes build artifacts. The main branch has a branch policy that requires a successful build before merging. The feature branches do not have branch policies. All builds run on Microsoft-hosted agents. Upon investigation, you notice that the feature branch builds are restoring all NuGet packages from scratch each time, while main branch builds use cached packages. Additionally, the code analysis tool is scanning the entire codebase, not just the changed files. You need to reduce the feature branch build time to under 15 minutes without compromising code quality. Which course of action should you take?

A team uses Git-LFS to store large binary files. They observe that cloning the repository takes a long time because Git-LFS files are downloaded. How can they improve clone performance?

You are a DevOps consultant for a financial services company that is migrating from TFVC to Git. The existing TFVC repository has several branches: main, dev, feature branches, and release branches. The history is linear with no branching. The company requires that all future Git commits follow a strict naming convention: 'type(scope): description' (e.g., 'feat(api): add new endpoint'). They also want to prevent direct commits to the main branch; all changes must go through pull requests with at least one reviewer. Additionally, they want to ensure that each commit message is validated before it is merged. The team is small (5 developers) and they want a simple setup without complex tooling. Which approach should you recommend?

A team uses a monorepo in Azure Repos. They want to implement a build validation policy that only triggers builds for code changes in specific folders to reduce build times. Which approach should they use?

A developer accidentally committed a sensitive password to a Git repository. The commit has already been pushed to the remote. What is the first step to remediate the situation?

Which THREE are valid Git merge strategies available in Azure Repos pull requests?

A development team uses a forking workflow in Azure Repos. They want to ensure that only specific users can create forks of the main repository. How can they achieve this?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer is working on the feature/login branch and wants to ensure that the latest changes from main are incorporated before creating a pull request. Which command should the developer run next?

Drag and drop the steps to set up a continuous integration pipeline in Azure Pipelines into the correct order.

Refer to the exhibit. A team wants to release version 1.0 from the main branch. They notice that the tag v1.0 is already on the current main commit. However, they also see that the origin/feature/experiment branch has commits that are not merged into main. What is the most likely scenario?

A team is migrating from TFVC to Git. They have a large codebase with many branches. What is the recommended approach to preserve the history during migration?

Your team manages a large monorepo in Azure Repos containing multiple projects. Developers frequently complain that cloning the entire repository takes too long and that they only need a subset of the code. The team uses Git LFS for large binary files. The repository currently has 50,000 commits and is 5 GB in size. You want to improve clone performance without sacrificing the ability to contribute to any part of the repo. What should you do?

A development team uses Git for source control. They want to enforce a branching strategy where all feature work is done in short-lived branches that are merged to main via pull requests. The team also requires that every commit on main builds successfully. Which TWO practices should the team implement?

Match each Azure Artifacts feed type to its description.

A development team is using Git for source control. They have a main branch that should always be deployable. Developers work on feature branches and create pull requests to merge into main. Recently, a feature branch with incomplete work was accidentally merged into main, causing build failures. What is the best Git branch strategy to prevent this in the future while maintaining fast feedback?

An organization uses Azure Repos with multiple Git repositories. They want to enforce that all commits to the main branch are signed using GPG keys. Which combination of actions is required to enforce commit signing?

Drag and drop the steps to troubleshoot a failed Azure DevOps release pipeline into the correct order.

A team uses a monorepo with multiple projects in one Git repository. They want to enforce that each commit message must reference a work item from Azure Boards. Which branch policy should they configure?

A team uses Git for source control. They want to automatically squash all commits in a feature branch into a single commit when merging to the main branch. Which merge type should they use?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer runs the pipeline on a branch called 'feature/abc'. What will happen?

Which THREE are benefits of using a monorepo vs multiple repositories?

A company has a policy that all code changes must be reviewed by at least two people. However, for urgent bug fixes, they want to allow a single reviewer. How should they configure the branch policy?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer pushes a commit to a branch named 'feature/new-login'. Which of the following will occur?
