"Branches" not listed under "Repos" on <mysite>.visualstudio.com. How do I enable this?

Copper Contributor

Apologies for the newbie question.

My Repos in Azure DevOps looks like this:

How can I show the Branches option?

Note we have a number of branches:

Could anyone point me to the appropriate MS Documentation page or describe what to do?

 

Thanks so much.

Hi, thanks for your question. My personal experience with Azure DevOps is only with _Git_ used for repos. But from your screenshot mentioning shelvesets and changesets, terms common in TFS type repos, I suspect your repo is set up as TFS. I am not familiar with how the ADO UI presents itself in TFS style repos, but the manual page for branching in TFS only mentions the use of Visual Studio for managing the TFS branches. I hope that helps a bit

Thanks for the reflection on this, I am tending to agree with you.  Maybe branches visibility in Azure Dev Ops is only for GIT repositories. 

Thanks again.
