Pipelines Explorer

Browse Azure DevOps pipelines, drill into referenced YAML templates and scripts (PowerShell, Bash, Cmd, Python, Azure CLI), and jump to the local files in your editor — from VS Code and Visual Studio 2026.

This repository hosts two client implementations of the same Pipelines Explorer experience, sharing a common Azure DevOps backend model and Microsoft Entra ID + PAT authentication design.

Clients

Client	Path	Tech	Status
VS Code extension	src/vscode/	TypeScript, esbuild, vsce	Stable — see src/vscode/README.md
Visual Studio 2026 extension	src/vs2026/	C# / .NET 10 / WPF, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Extensibility SDK	Scaffold — see src/vs2026/README.md

Both clients ship from this repo independently, with their own build pipelines, releases and CHANGELOG entries.

Working in the repo

Open the multi-root workspace for the best experience:

code PipelinesExplorer.code-workspace

VS Code client

cd src/vscode
npm ci
npm run package        # type-check + lint + production bundle
npx @vscode/vsce package

Visual Studio 2026 client

cd src/vs2026
dotnet build PipelinesExplorer.VisualStudio.csproj -c Release

The produced .vsix lands under src/vs2026/bin/Release/.

Versioning & releases

• The two clients version independently.
• Tag conventions:
  • vscode-vX.Y.Z → triggers release-vscode.yml, publishes the VS Code .vsix.
  • vs2026-vX.Y.Z → reserved for the future VS 2026 release workflow.
• CHANGELOG entries are prefixed with [vscode] or [vs2026] so the aggregate file stays readable.
