### Connect to Azure DevOps and Get Projects

Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/README.md

Demonstrates how to establish a connection to an Azure DevOps organization using a personal access token and retrieve a list of projects. It handles pagination for retrieving all projects.

```Python
from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication
import pprint

# Fill in with your personal access token and org URL
personal_access_token = 'YOURPAT'
organization_url = 'https://dev.azure.com/YOURORG'

# Create a connection to the org
credentials = BasicAuthentication('', personal_access_token)
connection = Connection(base_url=organization_url, creds=credentials)

# Get a client (the "core" client provides access to projects, teams, etc)
core_client = connection.clients.get_core_client()

# Get the first page of projects
get_projects_response = core_client.get_projects()
index = 0
while get_projects_response is not None:
    for project in get_projects_response.value:
        pprint.pprint("[" + str(index) + "] " + project.name)
        index += 1
    if get_projects_response.continuation_token is not None and get_projects_response.continuation_token != "":
        # Get the next page of projects
        get_projects_response = core_client.get_projects(continuation_token=get_projects_response.continuation_token)
    else:
        # All projects have been retrieved
        get_projects_response = None
```

### Directory Navigation Macros

Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/scripts/windows/macros.txt

Provides shortcuts to navigate up the directory tree by one or more levels. Useful for quickly moving between project directories.

```batch
up=cd ..
up1=cd ..
up2=cd ..\..
up3=cd ..\..\..
up4=cd ..\..\..\..
up5=cd ..\..\..\..\..
up6=cd ..\..\..\..\..\..
up7=cd ..\..\..\..\..\..\..
```

### File Explorer and Editor Macros

Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/scripts/windows/macros.txt

Macros to open files or directories in Notepad.exe or the default file explorer. The `$`* argument passes any additional arguments to the command.

```batch
n=notepad.exe $*
e=explorer $*
```

--------------------------------

### Build Macro

Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/scripts/windows/macros.txt

Compiles all Python files in the current directory recursively. The `-f` flag forces recompilation.

```batch
b=python -m compileall . -f
```

--------------------------------

### Findstr Search Macros

Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/scripts/windows/macros.txt

Macros for using the `findstr` command to search for strings within files. They support various options for case-insensitivity, printing filenames, and recursive searching.

```batch
f=findstr /ips /c:"$*" *
fm=findstr /mips /c:"$*" *
fcs=findstr /ips /c:"$*" *.cs
fjs=findstr /ips /c:"$*" *.jsts=findstr /ips /c:"$*" *.ts
fproj=findstr /ips /c:"$*" *.*proj
```
