There are some missing pieces in the integration between git and Azure Devops. We face a problem to create pull request in command line or create a pull request in SourceTree.
Thanks to Terje Sandstrom, I've consolidated the steps in his blog into one powershell scripts. http://hermit.no/visual-studio-and-azure-devops-git-extend-the-git-command-line-with-server-commands-part-2/
Prerequsite
- Install Git on your machine
- Get the Azure Devops Access Token, and save it for later use. Got to https://yoururl.visualstudio.com/_usersSettings/tokens Create a valid token with enough access rights. e.g. Code > Read Write & Manage
Run
Run the powershell scripts, paste in the git access token.
Commands
git prb : Create pull request to the target branch e.g. git prb master
git prm : Create pull request to master branch
e.g. git prm
git prm --title : To add a custom title
e.g. git prm --title "Testing pull request to Azure Devops using command line"
git prmc : Create pull request with auto complete. You can also use the --title the same way.
