Azure Boards + GitHub Integration Improvements
Oct 31, 2023Dan Hellem

Summary
This post details planned enhancements to the Azure Boards + GitHub integration to improve traceability for users who choose GitHub repositories. Planned improvements include: better AB#ID validation to catch invalid work item links before merging pull requests, a more streamlined experience for linking commits and pull requests by allowing search and selection instead of manual URL pasting, richer display of pull request details on work items (ID, creation date, status, check status), the ability to create a new branch from a work item in GitHub repositories (similar to Azure Repos integration), and improved scalability to connect more than 500 GitHub repositories to a single Azure DevOps project.
