Explanation

Explanation

Installing the Azure Boards app for GitHub (Option C) is the correct first step because it establishes the official, native integration between Azure DevOps Boards and your GitHub repository, allowing you to embed a board status badge directly into README.md with minimal configuration effort - this is the designed, low-effort pathway Microsoft provides for this exact scenario.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option A (GitHub PAT): While a PAT may be needed in some integration scenarios, it is not the first step and requires more manual administrative overhead compared to the dedicated app integration.
• Option B (GitHub annotations): This feature relates to linking GitHub commits/PRs to work items, not embedding board status into README files.
• Option D (Allow anonymous users to access the status badge): This is a setting you configure after the integration is set up - it's a later step, not the first action to take.

Memory Tip

Think of it this way: "App first, configure later." Whenever you're connecting two platforms (Azure DevOps + GitHub), always install the official connecting app before tweaking any settings or tokens - just like you install software before configuring it. The Azure Boards app for GitHub is the "bridge" that makes everything else possible.
