Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI

Microsoft is introducing a new extensions for the Azure CLI, the Azure DevOps Extension. This extension adds Pipelines, Boards, Repos, Artifacts and DevOps commands to the Azure CLI 2.0. It replaces the VSTS CLI that has been deprecated and will no longer be receiving new features.

Getting started

az –version

    • Add the Azure DevOps Extension

    az extension add --name azure-devops

      • Run the az login command. This will open up the default browser and load a sign-in page. You can also login using a PAT if you want.

      az login

      • Set the default project organization and project name. This avoids that we have to do this for every command:

      az devops configure --defaults organization=https://dev.azure.com/ordina project=SampleProject

      az pipelines build list -o table

      VS Code Planning mode

      After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
