Azure Pipelines

When you're iterating on Azure DevOps pipeline YAML for the VS Code build, this lets you queue validation builds, check their status, and cancel stale runs without leaving your terminal. It wraps the Azure CLI with a TypeScript script that handles common workflows like queueing builds with specific parameters (turning off publishing, skipping certain platforms, running CI mode instead of product builds), watching build progress with auto-refresh, and downloading logs when things break. The real value is avoiding the push-wait-check cycle. You can test pipeline changes on your branch, cancel the build if you spot an error in the first few minutes, tweak the YAML, and queue a fresh one. It's built specifically for the VS Code project's setup but the patterns translate if you're working with any large Azure Pipelines configuration.
