DEMO: Third-Party Pipeline

This lesson explores how to implement version control on Azure repos. It begins with an overview of what source control is and the different types of source control available. It then looks at the key elements of branching, different branching strategies, and how they impact the development process. You'll move on to learn about pull requests and merging as repository functions, and the different merging scenarios available to you. Finally, you'll be guided through using third-party systems in conjunction with Azure DevOps. This lesson contains several guided demonstrations from inside the Azure portal to give you real-world exposure to the concepts covered throughout the lesson.
