Azure DevOps from the command line
The Azure DevOps extension for the Azure CLI 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. The Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI adds Pipelines, Boards, Repos, Artifacts and DevOps commands to the Azure CLI.
Azure CLI runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. See the install steps.
Quick start
Install the Azure CLI. You must have at least v2.0.49, which you can verify with az --version command.
Add the Azure DevOps Extension az extension add --name azure-devops
Run the az login command.
If the CLI can open your default browser, it will do so and load a sign-in page. Otherwise, you need to open a
browser page and follow the instructions on the command line to enter an authorization code after navigating to
https://aka.ms/devicelogin in your browser. For more information, see the
Azure CLI login page.
