June 21st, 2019

I'm at NDC Oslo and it's summer solstice. So today's the longest day of the year, and up here that makes for a really long day. But that's good news for me, it gives me more time to catch up on the amazing articles that the Microsoft DevOps community is writing. Check them out - and if you're also at NDC Oslo this week, be sure to say hi! Eve

The weekend's nearly here, so it's almost time to relax. Don't tell your boss that I suggested it, but maybe you should knock off a little early and catch up on the DevOps news. Lucky for me, I'm not in the office next week: I'll be at Techorama Belgium and GitHub Satellite. Be sure to stop by and say hi if you're there, too! Configuring Cypr

It's Friday - which means that Microsoft Build 2019 starts Monday!

Pull Requests with Rebase

April 22nd, 2019

We're excited to roll out another way to integrate your pull requests in Azure Repos. Arriving in the Sprint 150 update is an option to rebase your pull request into the target branch.

It's a gorgeous long weekend here in England - it's warm and the sun is shining, two things that don't happen here all the time.

But if you're stuck with the dreary end of winter, then I'll leave you with some great articles from the community to keep you busy. Pub
