Hello @Goutham Kannekanti and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

This is not something that Data Factory can do, but there is a way to accomplish your ask. I assume master branch is your collaboration branch. Most of the following you will need to do in Git or DevOps, wherever your repository is.

1. Create a new branch from master (let us call it "Temp")
2. Copy the desired changes from Dev branch to Temp branch (this means your 4 files). This includes any deletions.
3. Create pull request to merge Temp into master
4. After merging, go to Data Factory and check all is in master the way you want it.
5. Publish master. This pushes to adf_publish branch.
