Items in a Folder can now be committed to Git repository

Sep 17 in General

The Workspace Folders feature was released quite a few months ago, which is useful for organizing your workspace a bit more.

When it was released, however, one of the key limitations was that items you put in a folder couldn't be committed into Version Control (Azure DevOps).

However, recently Microsoft announced (casually in the middle of an article about Deployment Pipelines) that you can now commit Items in Folders into version control.

A slight caveat (from my own testing) is that the folder structure you create in your workspace is not respected in the Git repository; it's a flattened list of all your items (including those in Workspace Folders),

Thanks to

for spotting this 😀
