Create a Pull Request based on a commit

Question

Is it possible to create Pull Request based on a commit using Azure DevOps API? For example, consider this is my source branch with the following commit history:

commit #5
commit #4
commit #3
commit #2
commit #1

Can I create a Pull Request such that Pull Request should ONLY include the following commits:

commit #3
commit #2
commit #1

Answer 1

Rest Api (and manual creation) does not support commit selection... You may try to create a temporary branch and use PR from it.

To create a branch, try to use refs: Update Refs

The request body should look like this:

[
  {
    "name": "refs/heads/my-temporary-branch",
    "oldObjectId": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
    "newObjectId": "commit #3 ID"
  }
]
