Azure-pipelines-agent: Badge for Github repo, with YAML

[guolinke]

I cannot find the badge link for github, with YAML.
However, it seems your repo support that badge.
How do i enable it for my own repo ?

We are adding the UX to expose the badge links in the next sprint, but for now you can generate it yourself:

https://<your account>.visualstudio.com/<your project>/_apis/build/status/<path/to/definition>&branchName=optionalBranchName

The path to your definition is optional, it's only necessary if you have definitions with the same name in different folders. You can also use the definition's ID instead, if you happen to know it.

Thanks, I can generate the badge now.
However, that is only a icon, can I get the link to the build log for that icon ?

[moswald]

Yes:
https://<your account>.visualstudio.com/<your project>/_build/latest?definitionId=<id>

Unfortunately, you have to use the definition's ID for this, but this is an oversight we'll address in a future release.

@moswald, is there a way to get the link without the definition ID now?

[moswald]

Not yet. I'll see if I can carve out a little time next week and sneak it into the release, though. Thanks for the reminder.

Ok, I just merged a PR into the Azure DevOps service that will allow you to use a url formatted the same way as the status endpoint. It will be available sometime next week or the week after, depending on our deployment schedule and where your account is hosted.

dev.azure.com/<your account>/_build/latest?definitionId=<definition id>
dev.azure.com/<your account>/_build/latest/<definition id>
dev.azure.com/<your account>/_build/latest/path/to/your/definition name
dev.azure.com/<your account>/_build/latest/unique definition name

As before, &branchName=branch name is an optional query parameter.
