The Azure command-line interface (Azure CLI) is a set of commands used to create and manage Azure resources.
The Azure CLI is available across Azure services and is designed to get you working quickly with Azure, with an emphasis on automation.
Official documentation of the Azure CLI
With the Azure DevOps extension, we can reach most of the Azure DevOps services from the terminal, such as;
- Create a Team Project
- Add user to a Team Project
- Create a Wiki Page in a Team Project
- Import a Repo to a Team Project
- Create a PR
- Create a Pipeline
- Run a Pipeline
Capabilities are almost endless with the Azure DevOps extension 🎉
But, you need to install the extension first.
Fortunately, installing an extension to Azure CLI is trivial, you just need to add it to the extension list of Azure CLI and configure it;
Usage is simple;
$ az devops --help
