I don't see the Branches link in Azure DevOps in the Repos menu:

The Azure admin has confirmed that I'm in the Contributor group and I can access branches through Visual Studio Team Services.

I haven't been able to find the setting that will let me manage branches in Azure DevOps / visualstudio.com.

So dumb... I needed to change this dropdown from the TFVC project in the Azure DevOps header:

To the Git repo:

And now I see options for Branches and Pull Requests in my Repos sub-menu:

According to your screenshot,seems you are using TFVC as your source control. This is the expected behavior.

For TFVC project the option under Repos should be

You could do some manages in Visual Studio from Source Control Explorer.

Or use tf branch command line to handle this.

The branches menu looks to only be available when you are using Git as your source control system. When you are using TFVC that option is not available. The actual branches are shown under the repository menu structure. It appears you will probably have to use Visual Studio for the branch operations.
