VSCode & TFS 2015 (GIT) - Linking Commits with Work Items

The topic is obvious. We use TFS 2015 and our projects are in TFS's GIT Source Control. I would like to link TFS Work Items (PBIs) to the commits I make, from VSCode (Like I can from Visual Studio).

Is there a native support or an extension for this purpose? I couldn't find much googling. I would appreciate if you share your experiences on this subject.

Thanks in advance!

The easiest way is to use #ID on the commit message to link to work items, but before you use it you need to check if it's enable in your TFS:

Go to http://<TFSinstance>/tfs/<Collection>/<TeamProject>/_admin/_versioncontrol, then select your repo, and switch to the Options tab. Make sure the appropriate checkmark is ON.

enter image description here

If you want something visualize, you can install Azure Repos extension, one of the features is:

team associate work items – Prompts you to choose a work item that is assigned to you (or from the results of your custom query). Choosing a work item will add it to the current commit/check-in message.
