Azure DevOps ACTION

Create Branch

Create a branch pointing at an existing commit. Returns the ref update result. Use this to open a working branch before pushing changes and raising a pull request. Example: new branch feature/login at commit a3fecf65a6766ebc6f2e33b66a1520b827c67ef8. Run the List Commits action first to obtain the commit the branch should point at. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Connect a user's Azure DevOps account once, then configure and run Create Branch from your backend or agent.

  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "azure_devops-create-branch",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    azure_devops: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
