Azure DevOps Overview
VSCode integrated overview for managing projects, pipelines and repositories in Azure DevOps:
Features
Projects: browse all projects of an organization and choose which ones are shown.
Pipelines: start a pipeline on one or more branches, cancel running builds, enable, disable or pause a pipeline and open it in the browser.
Builds: see the recent builds of every pipeline with their status, also when they were not started from VSCode.
Repositories: download (clone) and open repositories, create new ones, and browse the files and branches of a downloaded repository. Repositories with a common name prefix are grouped.
Pull requests: see the active pull requests per repository, rename them and open them in the browser. Creating and merging is done in Azure DevOps.

Press F5 to start the extension in a new window. The extension runs from the bundle in dist/, the launch configuration builds it first. npm run package creates the production bundle, npx @vscode/vsce package a .vsix.
Releases are published by the manually triggered Node.js CI workflow, which needs the secret PUBLISH_PAT (a Marketplace token).
