How to add a comments on a git commit with the Azure DevOps REST api

Question

I cannot find the API to add a "global comments" on a specific Git commit using the Azure DevOps REST api.
I need this since our custom CI tool must report detailed status per commit.

Hi,

Azure DevOps is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask the experts in the dedicated Azure DevOps forum over here:

Hi @Stephane Ronse ,

I took a gander at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/git/?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0#common-tasks and I don't see any support for PUT on that resource. Therefore, I don't think you add comments. You can however get a list a commits. Perhaps you can track messages within your custom CI tool and link those messages to the necessary commit. Just a thought. There's also some sample code that can help get you started.
