Pywr models, from the first edit to the approved change
Two extensions, one for the people who build Pywr water resource models and one for the people who approve their changes. Each works on its own, and together they carry a change from the editor to the main model.
Pywr for VS Code
For modellers
Draw the network on a schematic, edit components in forms, catch mistakes as you type, run the model and chart its results, all in the editor.
Free. VS Code 1.110 or later.
Pywr for Azure DevOps
For reviewers and approvers
See each change to a model component by component and on the schematic, then comment on it and approve it in the browser, without Git.
30 days free, then a yearly licence.
Where the two meet
The modeller sends a change to the model from VS Code, and the reviewer approves it in Azure DevOps. A question asked on one side is answered on the other.
Each one works on its own
You can use Pywr for VS Code without Azure DevOps. A reviewer can use Pywr for Azure DevOps on changes made in any editor.

Start with the one you need
Modellers start with VS Code. Teams who approve model changes add Azure DevOps when the first change needs a reviewer.
