git-view-work-item

Git add-on for opening work item details in your browser based on the current branch. You can also print the JSON properties to stdout for integration with other workflows. It uses a regular expression to extract a work item identifier from the current branch name and inserts it into a URL via Go text templates.

You can configure the add-on's behavior through Git properties. See the following example:

[git-view-work-item]
    url = "https://dev.azure.com/org/project/_workitems/edit/{{ .Identifier }}"
    regex = "[0-9]+"

The following properties are available for you to insert into the URL:

• Directory: the current directory name (but not the full path).
• Identifier: the identifier extracted from the current branch name.
• Repository: the repository name, taken from remote.origin.url.
• Url: the URL of the repository, taken from remote.origin.url.

You can learn more about Go text templates in the package documentation.
