Azure Devops

Azure Devops CLI is a new command line interface for Azure Devops Service

Azure Devops CLI is currently in preview but we encourage you to give it a try and provide feedback (or contribute).

Get started

Refer to the install guide for detailed install instructions for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Also refer to the "get started" guide for in-depth instructions including first-time setup steps.

For help, pass the -h or --help argument, for example:

az dev -h
az dev code -h

Commands

Use the Azure Devops CLI to work with and manage build, code repositories, projects, work items, and more in your Azure Devops account or on-premises Team Foundation Server collection.

Here are just a few of the commands:

• az dev build queue
• az dev code pr list
• az dev code pr complete
• az dev code pr reviewers add
• az dev code pr work-items list
• az dev project create
• az dev work item create
• az dev work item update

See the full list of available commands.

Login (setup credentials)

Create a personal access token and provide to the Azure Devops CLI via the login command:

az dev login --instance https://MYACCOUNT.visualstudio.com --token MYTOKEN

Using Azure Devops CLI Behind a Proxy

The Azure Devops CLI picks the network proxy configuration from the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, and HTTPS_PROXY.

Configure defaults, Git aliases, and more

You can change your default settings using the az dev configure command, for example you can set the default output format for all commands. The options are:

• JSON
• JSON (with color highlighting)
• Table (human-readable tabular output)
• TSV (tab and new line delimited)

You can also add aliases in Git for certain Azure Devops CLI commands. For example, git pr list will be an alias for az dev code pr list.

Querying and filtering output

You can use the --query parameter and the JMESPath query syntax to customize your output, for example:

Result
-------------------------------------------------------------

[Demos]\Demo Team
Fabrikam Fiber
