Azure DevOps Extension

The ADO Extension provides a self-contained pipeline task with a built-in PR Insights Dashboard directly in your Azure DevOps project.

What you get:

• Pipeline task that extracts PR metrics automatically
• Interactive dashboard in your ADO project navigation
• No Python installation required
• PowerBI-compatible CSV exports

Get started: Extension User Guide

Minimal Pipeline Example

variables:
  - group: ado-insights-secrets  # Contains PAT_SECRET

steps:
  - task: ExtractPullRequests@2
    inputs:
      organization: 'MyOrg'
      projects: 'Project1,Project2'
      pat: '$(PAT_SECRET)'

  - publish: $(Pipeline.Workspace)/aggregates
    artifact: aggregates

---

Python CLI

The Python CLI provides full control for local analysis, custom scripts, and non-ADO CI/CD systems.

Installation

Recommended: pipx (handles PATH automatically)

pipx install ado-git-repo-insights

Alternative: uv (fast, modern)

uv tool install ado-git-repo-insights

Advanced: pip (manual PATH setup may be needed)

pip install ado-git-repo-insights
# If 'ado-insights' not found, run: ado-insights setup-path

Verify installation: ado-insights --version

Diagnose issues: ado-insights doctor

Get started: CLI User Guide

Basic Usage

# Extract PR data
ado-insights extract \
  --organization MyOrg \
  --projects "Project1,Project2" \
  --pat $ADO_PAT \
  --database ./ado-insights.sqlite

# Generate CSVs for PowerBI
ado-insights generate-csv \
  --database ./ado-insights.sqlite \
  --output ./csv_output

# View local dashboard
ado-insights build-aggregates --db ./ado-insights.sqlite --out ./dataset
ado-insights dashboard --dataset ./dataset --open

How It Works

1. Extract — Fetches completed PRs from Azure DevOps REST API
2. Store — Persists data in SQLite with UPSERT semantics
3. Generate — Produces PowerBI-compatible CSVs and dashboard aggregates
4. Visualize — View metrics in the PR Insights Dashboard

The system uses incremental extraction by default (daily) with optional backfill mode to catch late changes (reviewer votes, status updates).

---

Security

• PAT with Code (Read) scope — Minimum required permission
• PATs are never logged — Secrets are redacted from all output
• No secrets stored at rest — Database contains only PR metadata
• Dashboard access — Requires Build Read permission on the analytics pipeline
