Improve the output of patch get command to show pipeline information

Mawreen Dela Cruzrequested to merge
mdc/improve-patch-get into main

What

This change enhances the output of the patch get command by adding detailed pipeline and deployment status tracking. When users view a patch, they now see additional information, including:

  • Links to the latest patch file commit for all patch statuses
  • Deployment pipeline link for in-rollout patches
  • Timestamp shown for the latest commits
  • Current pipeline status for in-rollout patches.
    • Failed patches already have a link to the failed pipeline; the pending packages only have skipped pipelines
  • Link for the commit history related to the patch

The enhancement helps quickly understand what's the current status of the patches by providing direct links to the related commits and pipelines.

  1. When the patch failed

    • There's no failed patch at the moment so I manually added an error keyword to one of the existing patches locally
