Description

Some companies are still using the legacy Azure DevOps URLs. When running the CLI command, there will be a warning message which is not token efficient.

image

dev.azure.com and visualstudio.com both point to the same Azure DevOps services, but dev.azure.com is the newer, standard domain, while visualstudio.com is the legacy domain from the VSTS era. Using dev.azure.com provides a more stable, modern URL structure (dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}), whereas visualstudio.com may lead to authentication issues, broken image links in PRs, or redirection behavior.
