```

## Before running the command

1. Export SNYK\_TOKEN (if you want to get the contributors only for repos that are already monitored by Snyk):
   * Make sure that your token has Group level access or use a service account's token that has Group level access. To learn more about how to create a service account, refer to [Service accounts](/snyk-platform-administration/service-accounts.md).
   * Copy the token value.
   * Export the token in your environment:

     ```
     export SNYK_TOKEN=<YOUR-SNYK-TOKEN>
     ```
2. Get your Azure Devops Token and Org:
   * Create a Token if one does not exist, using this [guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate?view=azure-devops\&tabs=preview-page).

     **Note**: Make sure your token has read access to the repos.
   * Find your Org name in Azure listed on the left pane on the [Azure DevOps site](https://dev.azure.com).

## Running the command

Consider the following levels of usage and options:

### Usage levels

* To get commits for all projects and their repos under my Org in Azure , only provide the Azure token and Azure Org:

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG
  ```
* To get commits for some projects and their repos under my Org in Azure , provide the Azure token, Azure Org and the project key/s separated by a comma:

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --projectKeys Key1,Key2...
  ```
* To get commits for a specific repo under my Org in Azure , provide the Azure token, Azure Org, a project key and a repo name:

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --projectKeys Key1 --repo Repo1
  ```

### Options

* To get all the commits from Azure regardless of the repos that are already monitored by Snyk, add the `--skipSnykMonitoredRepos` flag.

  You might have repos in Azure that are not monitored in Snyk; use this flag to skip checking for Snyk monitored repos and go directly to Azure to fetch the commits.

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --skipSnykMonitoredRepos
  ```
* To exclude some contributors from being counted in the commits, add an exclusion file with the emails to ignore (separated by a new line) and apply the `--exclusionFilePath` with the path to that file:

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --projectKeys Key1,Key2 --exclusionFilePath PATH_TO_FILE
  ```
* To set the output to json format: add the `--json` flag:

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --projectKeys Key1 --repo Repo1 --json
  ```
* To create an import file for your unmonitored repos: add the `--importConfDir` flag with a valid (writable) path to a folder in which the import files will be stored and add the `--importFileRepoType` flag (optional) with the repo types to add to the file (`all`/`private`/`public`, defaults to `all`). Note that these flags **can not** be set with the `--repo flag.`

  ```
  snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --importConfDir ValidPathToWritableFolder --importFileRepoType private/public/all
  ```

  For more details about these flags, refer to the [Creating and using the import page](/developer-tools/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/cli-tools/snyk-scm-contributors-count/creating-and-using-the-import-file.md).
* To run in debug mode for verbose output, prefix the command with`DEBUG=snyk*`:

  ```
  DEBUG=snyk* snyk-scm-contributors-count azure-devops --token AZURE-TOKEN --org AZURE-ORG --projectKeys Key1 --repo Repo1 --exclusionFilePath PATH_TO_FILE --skipSnykMonitoredRepos --json
  ```
