Pull Requests with Rebase
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. This lets you keep a linear commit history in your master branch, which many people think is an elegant way to visualize history.

I'm back from a few weeks of travelling - a fun mix of conferences and holiday - and I'm happy to be home. I'm particularly excited that I'll be here in England for the Global Azure Bootcamp in just a few weeks.
