About Git-Zen Lite for Azure DevOps
Git-Zen Lite for Azure DevOps
Git-Zen Lite is the FREE version of the simple yet powerful Git-Zen integration application for Zendesk. Git-Zen coordinates your Zendesk tickets with your Azure DevOps commits. When a Zendesk ticket arrives, and code needs to be changed to correct the issue, you can now easily see which files needed to be changed to correct the issue right next to the ticket. Git-Zen makes it easy to look at past tickets and see exactly what code was changed to correct the issue, in case further troubleshooting is needed in the future. Git-Zen can also keep your agents separate from your developers, so that you do not need to have Zendesk licenses for your development staff.
Easy to Use
To associate an Azure DevOps commit, all you have to do is include the Zendesk ticket number in the comment of the commit, prefaced by "gz#":
this is a comment for gz#12345
Informative
See a list of related files and commits right next to the ticket. Click on a commit link to view the commit in Azure DevOps.
Flexible
Multiple tickets can be referenced in the same commit comment. Multiple repositories can be referenced; so if a change was required to both your database schema and your web application, all of the changes will be listed together.
Affordable
Use the LITE version for free, or enjoy the full feature set for less than $20 a month (cost is per Zendesk domain account; Git-Zen offers an unlimited number of users with each account).

How to use Git-Zen for Azure DevOps
To associate a Azure DevOps commit or work item, all you have to do is include the Zendesk ticket number in a Azure DevOps commit comment or for Azure DevOps work item description, prefaced by "gz#"; in the below example, the Zendesk ticket number is 12345:
this is a comment for gz#12345
You may add more than one ticket number in the same commit (or work item) comment; both tickets will have the commit (or work item) added to it in Git-Zen.
gz#12345 and gz#67890 were affected by this commit
You may add commits from different repositories to the same ticket; this is especially useful when a solution to a ticket is spread across multiple projects, such as a when a change is required to both a database schema and a web application in order to solve an work item.
