Azure Repos allows you to create Pull Request (PR) templates to standardize and streamline the PR process for your team. This ensures that all necessary information is included, making the review process more efficient. 

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to Your Repository:

   • Go to the Azure Repos repository where you want to create a PR template.

2. Create a .azuredevops Directory:

   • create a new directory named .azuredevops in the root of your repository. This is where Azure Repos looks for configuration files, including PR templates.

3. Create a PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE File:

• Inside the .azuredevops directory, create a file named PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. This file will contain the template for your pull requests.

      4. Add Template Content:

• Open the PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file and add the content you want to include in your PR template. You can use Markdown to format the template. Here’s an example of a basic PR template:
