• 🎯 Filter by specific projects
• 📥 Download matched files using Git Items API with hash-based naming
• 📊 Beautiful formatted output with Rich
• ⚡ Parallel downloads with 5 concurrent workers
• 🔐 SHA256 hash verification for downloaded files
• 🐍 Python library for programmatic access

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install azdo-harvest

From Source

git clone https://github.com/rothoma2/azdo-harvest.git
cd azdo-harvest
poetry install

Configuration

The tool requires a Personal Access Token (PAT) from Azure DevOps with at least Code (Read) permissions.

Creating a PAT

1. Go to Azure DevOps: https://dev.azure.com/{your-org}
2. Click on User Settings (top right) → Personal Access Tokens
3. Create a new token with Code (Read) scope
4. Copy the token (you won't see it again!)

Setting up authentication

You can provide the PAT in two ways:

1. Environment variable (recommended):

   export AZDO_PAT="your-personal-access-token"
   

2. Command-line option:

   azdo-harvest search "term" --organization myorg --project myproject
   

Usage

Basic Search (Summary Mode)

By default, the CLI shows only a summary of results:

azdo-harvest search "file:Dockerfile" --organization myorg --project myproject

Output:

Searching for: file:Dockerfile
Organization: myorg
Project: myproject

✓ Found 2 repositories and 2 files

Download Files

Use --download or -d to automatically download all found files:

azdo-harvest search "file:Dockerfile" --organization myorg --project myproject --download

Files are downloaded with naming format: {repository}__{filename}__{hash}

• Example: docker-test__Dockerfile__a4b3c5d7.txt
• Hash is the first 8 characters of SHA256 hash of file content
• Ensures unique filenames even for files with same name

Specify custom output directory:

azdo-harvest search "file:*.py" -o myorg -p myproject --download --output-dir ./my-files

Verbose Mode

Use --verbose or -v to see detailed tables:

azdo-harvest search "TODO" --organization myorg --project myproject --verbose

Search Options

Search in a specific project:

azdo-harvest search "configuration" --organization myorg --project MyProject

Search only in file contents

azdo-harvest search "function" --organization myorg --project myproject --file-only

Search only repository names

azdo-harvest search "api" --organization myorg --project myproject --repo-only

Limit results

azdo-harvest search "test" --organization myorg --project myproject --limit 50

Complete example with all options

export AZDO_PAT="your-personal-access-token"
azdo-harvest search "file:Dockerfile" \
  --organization myorg \
  --project MyProject \
  --download \
  --output-dir ./dockerfiles \
  --verbose

Features:

• ⚡ Parallel downloads with 5 concurrent workers
• 📊 Progress bar showing download status
• ✓ Success/failure summary
• 🎯 Unique file naming: repo__filename__hash.ext
• 🔐 SHA256 hash for file verification

searcher = AzureDevOpsSearcher(organization, project, pat)

# Search for files
results = searcher.search(
    search_term="file:Dockerfile",
    project=project,
    search_files=True,
    search_repos=False,
    max_results=10
)

# Access file results (FileResult objects)
for file in results['files']:
    print(f"Found: {file.repository}:{file.filepath}")
    print(f"Branch: {file.branch}")
    print(f"Download URL: {file.get_download_url()}")
    
# Download files
output_path = searcher.downloader.download_file(
    results['files'][0],
    output_dir="./downloads",
    preserve_structure=True
)

# Or get file content without downloading
