Azure Pipelines app for Teams, improved GitHub and Azure Boards integration: Sprint 151 Update

In the Sprint 151 Update of Azure DevOps, we improved the GitHub integration with Azure Boards by adding a GitHub Marketplace app to streamline the acquisition and configuration with your GitHub repositories. In addition, you can now link work items in Azure Boards with related issues in GitHub. For example, you can accept bug reports from your users in GitHub while organizing your team's work in Azure Boards.

We also added a new Azure Pipelines app for Microsoft Teams so you can easily monitor and manage your pipelines from Teams.

The update includes the following changes.

Azure Boards:

• Add Azure Boards from the GitHub Marketplace
• Accept and execute on issues in GitHub while planning in Azure Boards
• Taskboard people switcher

Azure Pipelines:

• Azure Pipelines app for Microsoft Teams

Azure Repos:

• Repository creation extension point
• Improved encoding support
