 #### Resolve Failing Pull Request Checks
 
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
->
-> This repository requires approval from someone with write access for pull request checks
-> to run against a PR, to avoid abuse of live resources.
->
-> All of the PR checks can also be run from developers machine, which should prevent the approval
-> processes from unnecessarily lengthening the feedback cycle.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you are a Microsoft employee, you can skip the approval process for PR checks by:
->
->   * Joining the "[Azure-Samples](https://github.com/Azure-Samples)" organization
->   * [Setting your org membership visibility to public](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/publicizing-or-hiding-organization-membership#changing-the-visibility-of-your-organization-membership)

+Pull request checks run pre-commit and check the size of the contribution.
