Visual Studio Team Explorer Extension

I am trying to create an extension for Team Explorer window in VS2017. I want to put another button on the changes screen, or even hook into the commit method, so that I can take the comments, and integrate with a Kanbanize board. It seems like it should be possible to but a button onto the Team Explorer window, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation I can find, or examples. I have looked around and can only really find this link below, which I tried but doesn't seem to work, but isn't really what I am wanting to do.

The Team Explorer extensibility is designed to enable adding new sections to an existing page, but altering the existing sections to change their UI/behavior is not allowed. Given this design constraint, you can add your own UI, but it'll need to be in a separate section. You should be able to read the selection data from other sections on the Git Changes page via IChangesExt.

Hope this helps.
