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. By default, the branch that the current branch was created from is used (so long as that branch exists on the remote). 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.

0.70.0

Changes

• The "Create" view has been updated to be less noisy and more useful. Aside from the purely visual changes, the following features have been added:

  • We try to guess the best possible base branch for your PR instead of always using the default branch.
  • You can add reviewers, assignees, labels, and milestones to your PR from the "Create" view.
  • By default, your last "create option" will be remembered (ex. draft or auto merge)
  • The view is much faster.
  • You can view diffs before publishing your branch.
  • Once the branch is published, you can also view commits (this is coming soon for unpublished branches).

  

• If you work on a fork of a repository, but don't ever want to know about or make PRs to the parent, you can prevent the upstream remote from being added with the new setting "githubPullRequests.upstreamRemote": "never".

Fixes

• Quote reply missing for some comments. #5012
• Accessibility of "suggest edits" new workflow and documentation. #4946
