Development Pipeline

Track and manage Git usage from your Azure DevOps dashboard, in one clear view: how many pull requests are open, how work is promoting across your protected stages, and which open PRs need attention right now. Every PR links straight into Azure DevOps.

At a glance

Four tiles — Open pull requests, Merged pull requests, Live branches, and Abandoned PRs — for an instant read on repository activity.

Changes by protected stage

One column per integration branch (e.g. develop → staging-qa → master), auto-detected as the branches pull requests are merged into (plus branches named like a stage) and ordered along the promotion flow. Each column shows the branch tip commit, a merged-PR count, the completed PRs that landed there, and a role label computed live from the repository:

• production — the repository's default branch
• active target — the branch open PRs are currently targeting
• same commit as X — the branch tip matches another branch's tip (already promoted)

Needs attention

A prioritised list of open pull requests that are aging (older than the threshold) or unreviewed / blocked — most urgent first, badged with age and review state, each row opening the PR in one click.

Configuration

Open the widget's settings (gear icon) and pick the repository from a live dropdown. Integration stages are detected automatically from pull-request activity and branch names — nothing to hand-maintain.

Security & data handling

The widget reads the Git and Policy REST APIs using the viewing user's own Azure DevOps session — no personal access token or credential is stored in the extension, and no data ever leaves your Azure DevOps instance. Required scope: vso.code (read-only access to code).

Compatibility

Built on the classic VSS extension SDK; the SDK is vendored into the package, so the widget has no external CDN or internet dependency. Compatible with Azure DevOps Server (on-premises) and Azure DevOps Services.
