Introduction : In Microsoft Dynamics 365 & VSTS/Azue DevOps practice, it is always recommended to use a separate branch for production deployment else incomplete code of developer will get included in production deployment package.Developers checkedIn code or any development changes frequently in one dev branch but package should not be created from that branch in which developer is doing checkIn. Only required changes should be merged from dev branch to prod branch in Microsoft Dynamics 365 finance and operation & VSTS/Azue DevOps.
