Default Git repository and branch permissions

[!INCLUDE version-lt-eq-azure-devops]

After you've been added as a team member, you are a member of the Contributors group. This membership allows you to contribute to a Git repository. The most common built-in groups include Readers, Contributors, and Project Administrators. These groups are assigned default permissions for contributing to a branch or repository.
