Changes
-
Issue queries shown in the "Issues" view can be grouped by repository and milestone using the new
groupByproperty in thegithubIssues.queriessetting."githubIssues.queries": [ { "label": "Current", "query": "assignee:alexr00 is:open sort:updated-desc milestone:\"February 2024\" sort:updated-desc", "groupBy": [ "milestone", "repository" ] } ],
-
The setting
githubPullRequests.createDefaultBaseBranchcan be used to set the default base branch when creating a PR. By default, the branch that the current branch was created from is used (so long as that branch exists on the remote). SettingrepositoryDefaultwill 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 settinggithubPullRequests.pullPullRequestBranchBeforeCheckoutalso 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.
