Changes

• Experimental conflict resolution for non-checked out PRs is available when enabled by the hidden setting "githubPullRequests.experimentalUpdateBranchWithGitHub": true.

• There's an Accessibility Help Dialog that shows when "Open Accessibility Help" is triggered from the "Pull Requests" and "Issues" views.

  

• All review action buttons will show in the Active Pull Request sidebar view when there's enough space.

Changes

• Issue queries shown in the "Issues" view can be grouped by repository and milestone using the new groupBy property in the githubIssues.queries setting.

   "githubIssues.queries": [
       {
           "label": "Current",
           "query": "assignee:alexr00 is:open sort:updated-desc milestone:\"February 2024\" sort:updated-desc",
           "groupBy": [
               "milestone",
               "repository"
           ]

   ],

  

• The setting githubPullRequests.createDefaultBaseBranch can be used to set the default base branch when creating a PR.

Setting repositoryDefault will cause the repository's default branch to be used instead.

• Added files are opened in a regular editor instead of a diff editor when viewing changes in a PR.

• Merge commits are skipped when choosing a default PR title and description. This is to avoid the case where the merge commit message is used as the PR title and description.

• GitHub permalinks in comments for a checked out PR can now be opened in VS Code instead of just taking you to the browser.

  

• The base branch can be merged into a checked out PR branch from the Pull Request Description.

  
  -The setting githubPullRequests.pullPullRequestBranchBeforeCheckout also has new options to automatically fetch the base and merge it into the PR branch at checkout time.

• Merge conflicts can be resolved from the Pull Request Description when the PR is checked out.

  

• The hover on reactions now shows who left the reaction.

  

• Issue templates are now available when creating an issue.

• Setting "githubPullRequests.focusedMode": "multiDiff" will open the multi-diff editor with all the files in the PR upon checkout.
