Correct answer: Add the Azure Boards app to the GitHub repository..
Why this is the answer
To display commit status from a private GitHub repository in Azure Boards, you must first integrate Azure Boards with your GitHub repository. This is achieved by installing the Azure Boards app from the GitHub Marketplace onto your repository. This app creates the necessary connection and permissions for Azure Boards to access and display information, including commit status, from your GitHub repository. Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your GitHub account is a security best practice but is not a prerequisite for integrating Azure Boards. Adding the Azure Pipelines app is for CI/CD automation, not for displaying commit status in Azure Boards. Creating a GitHub Action is for automating workflows within GitHub itself and doesn't directly enable Azure Boards integration for commit status display.
