Azure DevOps currently doesn't allow linking to specific commits in review comments/various other places like GitHub does, as discussed here.
Here is a JS snippet that you can add as a bookmark in your browser. It can be copied into the URL field of your browser's bookmark creation dialog.
javascript:(function() {
const url = window.location.href;
const regex = /commit\/([a-f0-9]{40})/;
const match = url.match(regex);
if (match) {
const shortHash = match[1].substring(0, 8);
const markdownLink = `[${shortHash}](${url})`;
navigator.clipboard.writeText(markdownLink);
} else {
alert("Commit hash not found in URL.");
}
})();
Clicking the bookmark while on an AZDO commit page will copy a Markdown-formatted commit link to the keyboard, like so:
[a1d3f3f2](http://link/to/azdo/commit/a1d3f2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
By default, 8 characters should be enough to distinguish commits (and is the number of characters displayed by AZDO by the title upon viewing a commit, unless this changes if non-unique!).
2024-12-4: Stevie Howard replied to my suggestion with a script for
Tampermonkey
that automatically adds a correctly-styled button to any commit pages in place
of a bookmark, which I've switched to for bookmark-bar real-estate purposes.
Note that the @match field might need to be adjusted for your AZDO domain.
