Migrate just one Azure data factory pipeline via DevOps

Question

I have a ADF-Dev environment that has got multiple pipelines that are not in ADF-Prod. From the information I have been working through they all show brand new environments where dev is in sync with Prod. In my scenario other developers have created quite a few ADF pipelines all in the same branch so that when I look at creating a DevOps pipeleine/Release process I am informed that I am going to update/add 20 or so pipelines. I am trying to select just the ADF pipeline that I have worked on just for release. I can create a new feature branch and make some changes to just my pipeline then maybe get that from ADF-Dev to ADF-Prod. Would that be the way to do it or will it always be that I have these other ADF pipeleines that will always want to come across as well. And I believe triggers don't go through DevOps and should be created manually in prod??
Hope this makes sense.

Hello anonymous user and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

Ideally, the things you want to migrate would make up the collaboration branch. The collaboration branch is like a master branch, as is what gets published from.
As you only want to migrate just a couple changes, this sounds similar to a hotfix rather than a normal update. Read about the hotfix approach here.

There is a way to publish triggers. However, do note that triggers cannot be updated while active. There is a script to stop-start triggers here.
