Azure-devops-docs: Clarification needed

Created on 15 Nov 2019  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs

The article says: "All users will be allowed to create branches under the features/ and users/ folders."
Then in issued commands, it specifies /branch:features & /branch:users which are not folders but branch names.
So when those folders are being created?
After completing all above commands I am only able to create branches called feature, users, releases and nothing else. Even after creating users folder I am not able to create any branches undernith with error: "Failed to create branch users/nb from master with error: VS403660. You do not have permission to create ref refs/heads/users/nb. Please ensure the ref naming convention being used is allowed in this...."

Please help.

@ctahok -- thanks for your question. Here are a couple of options where you might consider asking your question:

Explanation provided in the docs says: "Then, allow contributors to create branches under features and users."

Commands bellow that text only allow to create branches specifically named features and users, but not anything like features/add-button or users/tom/add-readme.

Why not to make creation folders easier? My users are doing it anyway via GitHub itself.

@ctahok All I'm trying to say that provided command only allow to create one specific branch.
I need to create a policy that I would be able to create any branch with this naming convention: features/<my-branch-name>
