Configure Git repository policies using a configuration file

Azure DevOps Services

Branch policies help teams protect their important branches of development. Policies enforce your team's code quality and change management standards. For an overview of policy settings you can configure, see Git repository settings and policies.

You can configure branch policies for your repository using the various az repos policy commands. However, the policy commands accept a single scope, i.e., single combination of repository, branch and match type. If you want to apply the same policy across various scopes, you can do that using a policy configuration file.

Say you want to create a manual queue build policy across all branch folders that start with "release" and also on the main branch. To achieve this, execute the following steps:

Create a policy configuration file

Create a policy configuration file for build policy, including the multiple application scopes.

{
  "isBlocking": true,
  "isDeleted": false,
  "isEnabled": true,
  "revision": 1,
  "settings": {
    "buildDefinitionId": 22,
    "displayName": "Manual Queue Policy",
    "manualQueueOnly": true,
    "queueOnSourceUpdateOnly": false,
    "scope": [
      {
        "matchKind": "Prefix",
        "refName": "refs/heads/release",
        "repositoryId": "e646f204-53c9-4153-9ab9-fd41a11e3564"
      },
      {
        "matchKind": "Exact",
        "refName": "refs/heads/main",
        "repositoryId": "e646f204-53c9-4153-9ab9-fd41a11e1234"
      }
    ],
    "validDuration": 0
  },
  "type": {
    "displayName": "Build",
    "id": "0609b952-1397-4640-95ec-e00a01b2f659"
  }
}

To learn more about the structure for various policy types, refer to Policy create.

Save the file and run the create policy command

az repos policy create --policy-configuration C:\policyConfiguration.txt
