What is it?

GitHub Pull Requests for VS Code is an extension that brings GitHub pull requests and issues into the editor. Once connected to GitHub or GitHub Enterprise, it lists and browses PRs and issues in a sidebar view, and lets you leave in-editor review comments on code.

Beyond review, the extension supports validating a PR with a quick checkout, and it integrates with the terminal so the UI and command-line tools can be used side by side. It also offers hover cards and completion suggestions for @-mentioned users and issue numbers, a "Start working on issue" action that creates a branch, and code actions that turn TODO comments into issues.

The PR and issue lists are driven by configurable GitHub search queries, and the remotes the extension watches can be customized for repositories with non-standard remote names.
