This extension provides easy access to your Azure Boards work items, directly from within Visual Studio Code. See the work assigned to you, work you've recently had activity on, work you've been mentioned on, and work you're following. You can open a work item to gather more context or make an edit. Once you're ready to commit, starting a commit message that includes a work item mention is just a click away.
If you are using the extension with Azure DevOps Services, ensure you have an Azure DevOps Services organization. If you do not have one, sign up for Azure DevOps Services.
Azure DevOps Server and Team Foundation Server are not yet supported.
First, you will need to install Visual Studio Code 1.30.0 or later.

Clicking the mention icon on a work item within the extension automatically switches over to Source Control and adds the work item ID mention to the commit message.
