We talk with customers who love the command line. Donovan Brown maintains the community VSTeam command<\/a> for folks that love PowerShell, but we’re pleased to announce that we now have a public preview of Azure DevOps<\/a> extension for the Azure CLI which is available cross platform.<\/p>\n

The extension allows you to experience Azure DevOps from the command line, bringing the capability to manage Azure DevOps right to your fingertips! This allows you to work in a streamlined task\/command oriented manner without having to worry about the GUI flows, providing you a faster and flexible interaction canvas.<\/p>\n

This looks exciting, how do I get started?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Install Azure CLI<\/strong>: Follow the instructions available on Microsoft Docs<\/a> to set up Azure CLI in your environment. At a minimum, your Azure CLI version must be 2.0.49. You can use az -version<\/code> to validate. <\/li>\n
  2. Add the Azure DevOps extension<\/strong>: az extension add --name azure-devops<\/code> You can use either az extension list<\/code> or az extension show --name azure-devops<\/code> to confirm the installation. <\/li>\n
  3. Sign in<\/strong>: Run az login<\/code> to sign in. <\/li>\n
  4. Configure defaults<\/strong>: Although you can provide the organization and project for each command, we recommend you set these as defaults in configuration for seamless commanding. az devops configure --defaults organization=https:\/\/dev.azure.com\/contoso project=ContosoWebApp<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now you are all good to go!<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h2>\n

    Let us look at an example where the Azure DevOps extension can be used to view and trigger a build for an Azure Pipeline.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log into your Azure Account \"Login<\/li>\n
    2. Configure defaults \"Configure<\/li>\n
    3. View the list of builds \"List<\/li>\n
    4. Queue a build \"Queue<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For the documentation and for more information on the commands currently supported, take a look at the Azure DevOps extension documentation<\/a>. If you have any changes you’d like or suggestions for features then we’d love your feedback in our Azure DevOps extension GitHub repo<\/a> – we’re taking PR’s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
