About Commit Graph for Azure Repos
Commit Graph for Azure Repos is a specialized developer tool designed to bridge a noticeable gap in Azure DevOps by introducing a GitHub- and GitLab-style contribution heatmap. Built by software developer David Watts, Azure Repos natively lacks a visual year view or contribution graph showing who committed what. This extension solves that problem directly inside the Azure DevOps web UI.
The tool allows users to select an individual and view a comprehensive calendar heatmap displaying their commits and real pull-request comments across every repository in the project. Operating entirely client-side using your existing credentials, it ensures that no data leaves your organization and no backend server is involved. It features a free tier providing your own personal graph forever, alongside a paid tier at $19/mo (cancel anytime) that unlocks every contributor in the dropdown for the entire organization.

- Runs entirely client-side inside the Azure DevOps web UI using your credentials

- Includes a free tier to view your own graph forever
Cons of Commit Graph for Azure Repos
- Organization-wide contributor visibility requires the paid tier ($19/mo)
