Correct answer: From the Development settings of work item 123, select Add link and enter the commit URL., Include AB#123 in the commit message text..
Why this is the answer
The two correct methods for linking a GitHub commit to an Azure Boards work item are: 1. From the Development settings of work item 123, select Add link and enter the commit URL. Azure Boards provides a dedicated "Development" section within a work item. This section allows you to directly link to GitHub commits, pull requests, and branches by providing their URLs. This creates a formal, traceable link. 2. Include AB123 in the commit message text. Azure Boards automatically scans GitHub commit messages for specific keywords. When it finds "AB" followed by a work item ID (e.g., AB123), it automatically creates a link from that commit to the specified work item. This is a convenient and common practice for developers. "Include GH-123 in the commit message text" is incorrect because "GH" is not the recognized keyword for linking GitHub commits to Azure Boards work items; "AB" is used. "From the Links settings of work item 123, select Add link, choose Existing item, and enter the commit URL" is incorrect because while you can add links, the "Development" section is the specific and intended place for code-related links, offering better categorization and integration. "Add a comment to work item 123 that contains the commit URL" is incorrect because while it provides a reference, it does not create a formal, structured link that appears in the "Development" section or contributes to traceability features.
