Important
We recommend that you use the Azure Boards app for GitHub to configure and manage your connections to GitHub.com. The app provides a more streamlined configuration experience and has the advantage of authenticating and operating as the app rather than an individual. Once you're connected, you can manage the repositories either from Azure Boards or GitHub.com.
You can do the following tasks with Azure Boards-GitHub integration:
- Transition work items to a "Done" or "Completed" state with
fix,fixes, orfixedin GitHub. - Post a comment to a GitHub commit, pull request, or issue when linked to a work item.
- Link from a work item to a GitHub commit, pull request, branch, or issue.
- View GitHub objects on a board.
- Configure status badges
- Manage GitHub repository access
- Troubleshoot Azure Boards-GitHub integration
- Enable DevSecOps with Azure and GitHub
- Add or remove GitHub repositories from Azure Boards.
- Change repository access to Azure Boards to change connections, suspend the integration, or uninstall the app.
- Only connect a GitHub repository to one Azure DevOps organization and project.
If you connect the same GitHub repo to projects defined in two or more Azure DevOps organizations, it can lead to unexpected AB# mention linking. For more information, see Troubleshoot GitHub & Azure Boards integration. - Azure DevOps can only integrate with GitHub repositories or Azure Repos Git repositories. Integration with other Git repositories isn't supported.
- You can't query for work items with links to GitHub artifacts. However, you can query for work items with an
External Link Count > 0.
