Azure DevOps Assistant

The AzureDevOps Assistant is a Microsoft Edge Extension that provides an easy way to navigate between various AzureDevOps APIs related to YAML pipelines. With this extension, users can access the Timeline API, and Logs API, and view the full expanded YAML, making it convenient to view and interact with pipeline information.

Features

• Timeline API: Explore the timeline of a YAML pipeline, including the sequence of tasks and their status.
• Logs API: View detailed logs for each task in the YAML pipeline.
• Final YAML API: Retrieve the final YAML definition for a pipeline run
• Task Information: Retrieve task information like the version of the task, and the version of the extension it was uploaded with.
• Build Properties: Retrieve the builds properties information for a pipeline run.
• Bookmarking: Bookmark commonly retrieved Azure DevOps accounts and Task Guids, for faster and easier access

In addition to the core features, this extension offers customization options for a more personalized experience. Users can specify certain AzureDevOps (ADO) accounts, Project information, and pipeline runId and retrieve and navigate to the pipeline view.
