Unfortunately, you are not able to rename a branch. However, you can create a new branch from the branch which you want to rename then you can delete that branch.

As per the design, the rename of azure repo branches is not implemented. You can see [this existing similar thread](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/295577/branch-rename.html)

[Microsoft&#39;s documentation page &quot;Rename old branches&quot;](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/require-branch-folders?view=vsts&amp;tabs=browser#rename-old-branches) gives the following instructions:

 1. open repo &gt; Branches view.
 1. locate the old branch.
 2. hover over the old branch &gt; ...(More) icon &gt; + New Branch.
 3. enter the new branch name &gt; Create branch.
 4. hover over the old branch &gt; trash icon (Delete branch).



You can do this by following these steps:

 - Rename the branch using git from X to Y
 - In Azure:
  - Delete the linked branch (X)
  - Add a link to your new branch (Y)

I have a `Jenkinsfile` with some global variables and some stages.
can I update the global variable out from a stage?

An example:

&lt;!-- language: lang-groovy --&gt;

    pipeline {
      agent any
    
      environment {                 
        PASSWD = &quot;${sh(returnStdout: true, script: &#39;python -u do_some_something.py&#39;)}&quot;
        ACC = &quot;HI&quot;
      }

      stage(&#39;stage1&#39;) {
          when { expression { params.UPDATE_JOB == false } }

          steps{
            script {
              def foo= sh(  returnStdout: true, script: &#39;python -u do_something.py &#39;)
              env.ACC =  foo
              println foo
              print(&quot;pw&quot;)
              println env.PASSWD
           }
         }  
       }
    }

Is it possible to update the `ACC` variable with the value from foo, so that I can use the `ACC` Variable in the next stage?

There are two ways to perform dropout:

 - `torch.nn.Dropout`
 - `torch.nn.functional.Dropout`

I ask:

 - Is there a difference between them?
 - When should I use one over the other?

I don&#39;t see any performance difference when I switched them around.

Is there a way to change branch name in Azure DevOps. As shown in SS i have named my branch as Developer branch, now i want to change it to a specific request-id.
Is this possible.

Starting with v1.11 Go added support for modules. Commands

    go mod init &lt;package name&gt;
    go build

would generate ``go.mod`` and ``go.sum`` files that contain all found versions for the package dependencies. 

If a module does not have any releases, the latest commit of that module is used. If a module does have releases, the latest one is picked as a dependency.

However sometimes I would need functionality that is not in a published release yet, but from a commit made after that release. How do I set ``go.mod`` to point not to a release of a module, but to a specific commit in the module&#39;s repository?

It looks like I can do it by hand in go.mod with


    module /my/module
    
    require (
    ...
    github.com/someone/some_module v0.0.0-20181121201909-af044c0995fe
    ...
    )

where `v0.0.0` does not correspond to the last published release tag, ``20181121201909`` would be a commit timestamp and ``af044c0995fe`` would be the commit hash? Should such information to be found and entered by hand, or there is a better way?

I&#39;m trying to add everything under `MyProject/Frameworks/` to [git-lfs][1] (large file storage). I&#39;m [not sure][2] what the proper format for matching all files and folders recursively under the `Frameworks` folder is. [This answer][3] says the proper format is `git lfs track &quot;MyProject/Frameworks/**&quot;`, but [Atlassian&#39;s help document][4] says I should use `git lfs track &quot;MyProject/Frameworks/&quot;`. I tried both and they didn&#39;t use `git lfs` for storage. It tried uploading files directly.

Sure, I&#39;d love to know the proper format, but more importantly, before I attempt to push my changes to github, I&#39;d like to verify that the match and files do indeed work correctly. This&#39;ll allow me to iterate and try new things.

I see two related commands that might help: [`git lfs status`][5] and [`git lfs ls-files`][6]. It&#39;s not clear which one I should be using and what output I should be looking for. For example, when I ran `git lfs status`, it showed me a ton of files under `Git LFS objects to be committed`, making me think they would be added to Git LFS. However, after attempting to push to GitHub.com, I realized that it was clearly not the case. If it helps, the output for these files always had something like `(Git: edee1ad)` after each file name.

When I attempt to use `git lfs ls-files` I&#39;m not sure if I need to run it after `git add`ing the files, after committing them, or after pushing them. Most of the time it&#39;s just showing me blank output.

Essentially the question is: **If I configured `git lfs` correctly, what tool (e.g. `git lfs status`) should I use, and what output should I look for *before* I attempt to commit/push?**

**Note:** Please don&#39;t answer the question with _only_ how to match all recursive files as that will help me once (this specific case), rather than allowing me to iterate and try new things (any case).

How can I tell if a file will be uploaded to git lfs correctly?

I am trying to clone a project from gitlab to my local machine. I have been granted rights as a developer, and use the command &#39;git clone &lt;ssh or https link here&gt;

- None of the protocols work (ssh and https neither work)

The error message I am getting:

```
remote: The project you were looking for could not be found.
fatal: repository &#39;https://gitlab.com/KZA_Connected/skilltree.git/&#39; not found
```

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I&#39;ve worked on projects with a Jira integration where I simply had to include the ticket number in the commit or branch name and that work would automatically link with the ticket in Jira. Exe:

&gt; `git commit -am &#39;123 some commit&#39;`

And on the ticket you&#39;d see a link to the commit.

**How can I do that with Azure Dev Ops?**

I know how to manually do it via Visual Studio or in the ticket itself, but I want to do it through the command line only.

I&#39;m currently trying to create multiple build pipelines for my Angular app in Azure DevOps using the new YAML way.
I used to create a new build pipeline for the different environments I&#39;ve set up (dev, staging, prod) when I was using the &quot;legacy&quot; visual builder.

But since I&#39;ve switched to YAML-style build definitions everytime I try to create a new pipeline I get redirected to the existing `azure-pipelines.yml`. As far as I can tell [from the docs][1] it is not possible to define multiple pipelines in a single `.yml` file either.

Is this scenario currently not supported in Azure DevOps?

Multiple YAML build pipelines in Azure DevOps

I&#39;m developing a CI for Python package in Azure Pipelines (https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/blob/azure-pipelines/azure-pipelines.yml). At some point, I need to step out of the source code directory to allow `pytest` to discover an installation of this package, and run the corresponding tests.

The issue I&#39;m facing is related to the fact that `cd`, `cd C:`, etc commands do not seem to cause any effect, so that the current working directory remains unchanged (in this specific case, `D:\a\1\s`).

Is there a way to overcome the described limitation?

I have a .NET C# application and I would like to download the latest artifacts generated by the latest build of this public Azure DevOps project:

https://dev.azure.com/LumiaWoA/Boot%20Shim/_build?definitionId=3

How does one interface with Azure DevOps to download the artifacts for such a task? 

I have in mind to use an HttpClient to download the zipped artifacts using some special URL.

How to download the latest build artifacts from Azure DevOps programmatically?

I have a build pipeline set up to create Nuget packages and publish them to a feed in artifacts.

I was able to use the feed successfully.

However when I ran the pipeline again, causing the packages to publish again I am not able to update the consuming project successfully.

Even though I can see the correct new version number in the Package Manager (Visual Studio -&gt; Tools-&gt; Nuget Package Manager -&gt; Manage Nuget Packages for solution)

When I click install I get an error 

    Package &#39;&lt;mypackagename with version number&gt;&#39; is not found in the following primary source

    &lt;correct feed nuget/v3/index.json&gt; Please verify all your online package sources are available (OR) package id, version are specified correctly.
