Introducing GitHub pull requests for Visual Studio Code

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

A VS Code extension implements a GitHub pull request workflow inside the editor: authenticate to GitHub, list and open PRs, view diffs, check out a PR branch locally, and see an inline comments panel tied to files. The demo uses code intelligence and the integrated terminal to run npm start, finds the app crashes because a deleted fab breaks boot, and submits a request for changes back to GitHub — the extension works end to end.
