Pull request for code review using branch policies

Code issues that are found sooner are both easier and cheaper to fix. Therefore, development teams strive to push code quality checks as far left into the development process as possible. As the name suggests, branch policies give you a set of out-of-the-box policies that can be applied to the branches on the server. Any changes being pushed to the server branches need to comply with these policies before the changes can be accepted. Policies are a great way to enforce your team's code quality and change-management standards. In this recipe, you'll learn how to configure branch policies on your master branch.
