Azure-devops-docs: Seriously, where's the documentation?

Created on 21 Nov 2018  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs

  • There is too few examples on GitHub
  • Unanswered issues on GitHub
  • There's not a single release note / changelog for these libraries: what's new and what has been removed since the previous version?
  • Lots of methods are undocumented (contextual help or IntelliSense in Visual Studio)
  • REST APIs are not present in the documentation (where's the Identity API?)
  • ...

I second this. Just trying to figure out how to delete a branch is impossible. There is a DeleteRefFavoriteAsync() method - but good luck trying to figure out what a favorite id (int) is. Where do I get that? I just want to delete a branch.

Hey everyone, adding @willsmythe here for awareness. Weak .NET Client Library documentation is definitely on our radar and something we are trying to address.

Overall, same-same experience as @boblechat and @mtrtm mentioned with .NET and nodejs versions of these APIs. Confusing, under documented, and lacking working examples.

@elbatk @willsmythe did we have any news on this?

Official .NET client reference can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/integrate/concepts/dotnet-client-libraries?view=azure-devops (may not answer all questions, but is a start --- we'll do more to make this easier to find, it's currently a little buried in our docs)

Following up on this issue - did you all get your questions answered to your liking? Please let me know, otherwise I'll close this issue at end of week. Happy to find answers if needed. Thanks!
