Installation

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew tap SAGARSURI/tap
brew install adop-cli

pip

pip install adop-cli

From Source

git clone https://github.com/SAGARSURI/adop.git
cd adop
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Setup

1. Create an Organization

ado-pipeline org add work

You'll be prompted to enter:

• Organization - Your Azure DevOps organization name
• PAT - Personal Access Token

Required PAT Permissions:

• Build: Read & execute
• Code: Read

2. Add a Project

ado-pipeline project add mobile-app

You'll be prompted for the Azure DevOps project name.

3. Add Pipelines

After configuring, add pipelines you want to manage:

# Import pipelines from Azure DevOps (interactive)
ado-pipeline pipeline import

# Or add manually
ado-pipeline pipeline add my-build "My Pipeline Name" --description "Build description"

# Add with parameters
ado-pipeline pipeline add android-build "Android_Build" \
  --param "outputFormat:choice:apk:apk,aab" \
  --param "deploy:boolean:false" \
  --param "releaseNotes:string:"

4. Enable Shell Completion (Optional)

# Bash - add to ~/.bashrc
eval "$(_ADO_PIPELINE_COMPLETE=bash_source ado-pipeline)"

# Zsh - add to ~/.zshrc
eval "$(_ADO_PIPELINE_COMPLETE=zsh_source ado-pipeline)"

Then restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc).

What it completes:

Context	Example	Completes
Commands	ado-pipeline pl<Tab>	plan, pipeline
Pipeline aliases	ado-pipeline apply <Tab>	Your configured pipelines
Branch names	ado-pipeline apply my-build -b <Tab>	Git branches
Subcommands	ado-pipeline pipeline <Tab>	list, add, remove, etc.

Quick Start

ado-pipeline list                        # List available pipelines
ado-pipeline plan android-dev-build      # Dry-run (preview)
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build     # Trigger build
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build -y -w  # Trigger + watch
ado-pipeline status                      # Check build status
ado-pipeline open <BUILD_ID>             # Open in browser

Commands

Trigger Pipelines

Command	Description
ado-pipeline plan <alias>	Dry-run - preview what will be triggered
ado-pipeline apply <alias>	Trigger the pipeline

Options

Option	Behavior
(none)	Auto-detects current git branch
--branch, -b	Build from specified branch
--pr	Build from pull request (uses refs/pull/{n}/merge)
--force, -f	Bypass duplicate build check

--branch and --pr cannot be used together.

Examples

# Dry-run (preview only, no API call)
ado-pipeline plan android-dev-build

# Trigger build on current branch
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build

# Trigger on specific branch
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build --branch main

# Trigger from PR #123
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build --pr 123

# With parameters
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build -p deploy=true -p outputFormat=aab

# Skip confirmation + watch progress
ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build -y -w

Build Management

View Build Status

# Show recent builds
ado-pipeline status

# Show more builds
ado-pipeline status -n 20

# Filter by pipeline
ado-pipeline status -p my-build

# Show only your builds
ado-pipeline status --mine

View Build Logs

# Show logs for a build
ado-pipeline logs <BUILD_ID>

# Stream logs in real-time
ado-pipeline logs <BUILD_ID> -f

Cancel a Build

ado-pipeline cancel <BUILD_ID>
ado-pipeline cancel <BUILD_ID> -y    # Skip confirmation

Open Build in Browser

ado-pipeline open <BUILD_ID>

Compare Two Builds

ado-pipeline diff <BUILD_ID_1> <BUILD_ID_2>

Shows side-by-side comparison of pipeline, branch, result, duration, and parameters.

Pipeline Management

List Configured Pipelines

ado-pipeline pipeline list

List Remote Pipelines

# List all pipelines from Azure DevOps
ado-pipeline list-remote

Shows all pipelines available in your Azure DevOps project with their IDs and folders.

Add a Pipeline

ado-pipeline pipeline add <alias> "<Azure DevOps Pipeline Name>"

# With parameters (format: name:type:default[:choices])
ado-pipeline pipeline add android-dev-build "Build_Android_Dev" \
  --param "outputFormat:choice:apk:apk,aab" \
  --param "deploy:boolean:false"

Parameter types: string, boolean, choice

Import from Azure DevOps

# Interactive import with batch selection
ado-pipeline pipeline import

# Import all pipelines without prompting
ado-pipeline pipeline import --all

# Filter by name pattern (glob or regex)
ado-pipeline pipeline import --filter "Android*"
ado-pipeline pipeline import -f "Build_.*_Dev"

# Skip auto-fetching parameters (faster bulk import)
ado-pipeline pipeline import --all --no-params

The import command shows a numbered table and lets you select multiple pipelines at once:

Found 35 pipeline(s) to import:

   #   Pipeline Name               Suggested Alias
   1   Build_Android_Dev           build-android-dev
   2   Build_Android_Prod          build-android-prod
  ...

Select pipelines (e.g., 1,3,5-10 or 'all' or 'none'): 1-5,10

Importing 6 pipeline(s)...

Sync Parameters from Azure DevOps

# Sync single pipeline
ado-pipeline pipeline sync my-build

# Sync all pipelines
ado-pipeline pipeline sync --all

# Interactive batch selection
ado-pipeline pipeline sync

Parameters are auto-fetched during import. Use sync to refresh if the pipeline's YAML changes.

Remove Pipelines

# Remove single pipeline
ado-pipeline pipeline remove my-build

# Remove all pipelines (with confirmation)
ado-pipeline pipeline remove --all

# Interactive batch selection
ado-pipeline pipeline remove

The batch selection supports ranges like 1,3,5-10 or all:

Favorites

Save frequently used build configurations for quick access.

Save a Favorite

# Save with deploy enabled
ado-pipeline fav add quick-build my-build --deploy

# Save with specific branch
ado-pipeline fav add release-build my-prod --branch main --deploy

List Favorites

ado-pipeline fav list

Run a Favorite

ado-pipeline fav run quick-build
ado-pipeline fav run quick-build -y -w    # Skip confirmation + watch

Remove a Favorite

ado-pipeline fav remove quick-build

Configuration

# Initialize local project config (.ado-pipeline.json)
# Auto-detects org/project from Azure DevOps git remote
ado-pipeline init

# Show current configuration
ado-pipeline config show

Hierarchical Context (Org/Project)

Manage multiple Azure DevOps organizations and projects.

Organization Management

# Add organizations
ado-pipeline org add work        # Prompts for Azure DevOps org + PAT
ado-pipeline org add personal

# List organizations (active marked with *)
ado-pipeline org list

# Switch organization
ado-pipeline org select personal

# Remove organization
ado-pipeline org remove old-org

Project Management

# Add project to active org
ado-pipeline project add mobile-app

# List projects in active org
ado-pipeline project list

# Switch project
ado-pipeline project select web-app

# Remove project
ado-pipeline project remove old-project

Context Commands

# Show current context and source
ado-pipeline context

# Quick switch (org/project)
ado-pipeline use work/mobile-app

Override Context for Single Command

# -O (org) and -J (project) flags
ado-pipeline -O personal -J hobby status
ado-pipeline -O work -J mobile apply android-build

# Or use environment variables
ADO_ORG=personal ADO_PROJECT=hobby ado-pipeline status

Local Project Config

Create a .ado-pipeline.json in your project directory to auto-select context:

# In your project directory
ado-pipeline init

The init command auto-detects your Azure DevOps org and project from the git remote:

• ADO remote detected: Automatically uses the matching org/project. If no local config exists, prompts for PAT to create one.
• Non-ADO remote (GitHub, GitLab, etc.): Warns you and asks for confirmation before proceeding with active context.
• No git remote: Falls back to current active context.

Or manually create the file:

{
  "org": "work",
  "project": "mobile-app"
}

Now commands auto-detect context when you're in that directory:

cd ~/projects/mobile-app
ado-pipeline apply android    # Uses work/mobile-app automatically

Context Resolution Priority:

1. CLI flags (-O, -J)
2. Environment variables (ADO_ORG, ADO_PROJECT)
3. Local config (.ado-pipeline.json in current or parent dirs)
4. Global active context

Parameters

Pass parameters with -p name=value:

ado-pipeline apply android-dev-build -p deploy=true -p outputFormat=aab

• Boolean values: true/yes/1 or false/no/0
• Refresh parameters: ado-pipeline pipeline sync <alias>

Configuration Files

All config files have 0600 permissions (owner read/write only) since they may contain sensitive data.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
ADO_ORG	Override organization for the command
ADO_PROJECT	Override project for the command
ADO_BANNER	Control ASCII banner display: 0 to disable, 1 to force enable
NO_COLOR	Standard variable to disable colors (also hides banner)

Troubleshooting

"Pipeline not found"

The CLI suggests similar names if you make a typo:

Error: Pipeline 'my-bild' not found. Did you mean: my-build?

Run ado-pipeline pipeline list to see all available aliases.

"No pipelines configured"

Add pipelines first:

ado-pipeline pipeline import   # Import from Azure DevOps
# or
ado-pipeline pipeline add <alias> "<pipeline-name>"

"PAT not configured" / "No context set"

Set up an organization and project:

ado-pipeline org add work      # Creates org, prompts for PAT
ado-pipeline project add myapp # Creates project in active org

"Branch not found"

The branch must exist on the remote. Push it first:

git push -u origin <branch>

"Duplicate build detected"

A build with the same branch, commit, and parameters is already running. Options:

• Wait for the existing build to complete
• Use --force to trigger anyway: ado-pipeline apply my-build --force
• Cancel the existing build: ado-pipeline cancel <BUILD_ID>

Shell completion not working

Make sure you've added the eval command to your shell config and restarted your terminal.

Build stuck or need to cancel

ado-pipeline cancel <BUILD_ID> -y
