We are in the process of migrating all our repositories from Github to VSTS finally and getting our automated build and deployment process setup as well as a new working flow.
While setting up our repositories we had to go through each one individually and configure the branch policies. It got me thinking is there not a way to create some sort of branch policy template that can be reused for your other repos or new repos? I couldn't find anything in the settings that indicated otherwise but I've been having a hard time sifting through all the ways you can customize VSTS that I'm sure I could have missed it.
