Azure DevOps git tag release pipeline
I'm wanting to get an Azure DevOps Pipeline (Classic) to run on a schedule against a Git Tag. This tag is set by a CD pipeline to mark when it has been deployed in the live environment. The scenario is that a "safe" release can be re-released on a regular schedule to ensure that it still matches what is expected (it's an Azure ARM release, and I want to tidy up any unauthorised changes made by lazy engineers). I cannot though find a way to achieve this. While you can filter on tags from builds in a release pipeline, that's not Git tags, but things manually set in ADO. I have tried using a build pipeline first (don't actually need one for this, but I can live with it) and using a branch filter to refs/tags/mytag, but it never seems to run. Can anybody help out here?
How to connect branch policies with work items in Azure Repos?
I have a couple of questions about branch policies in Azure Repos. As you can see we have a branching strategy based on linked items in Azure DevOps. My questions: Is it possible to allow users push their changes to Main branch only if their branch is connected with some story? And the second -- is it possible to allow users push changes to Story branch only if their task is child to story in which they are trying to push? I have read all docs about polices and have not found anything appropriate Or what policies could you recommend if nothing exists from the above
