0.126.0

Changes

• A multi-diff editor can be opened for a pull request by URI. For example, vscode-insiders://github.vscode-pull-request-github/open-pull-request-changes?uri=https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice/pull/460.
• There's an option to "Checkout on Codespace" from the pull request description webview.
• ctrl/cmd + R when the pull request description webview is focused will refresh the webview.
• You can "Reveal in Explorer" from files in the "Changes in Pull Request" view and the "Pull Requests" views.
• Commit SHAs in PR file comments will be linkified.
• Set "githubPullRequests.pullRequestDescription": "branchName" to have the pull request title pre-filled with the branch name when creating a new pull request.
• The command "GitHub Issues: Open Issue on GitHub" can be used when your cursor is in an issue reference (e.g., #1234) in a text file to open the issue on GitHub.
• Set "githubPullRequests.commentExpandState": "collapsePreexisting" to have pre-existing comments collapsed by default when opening a pull request description webview, while new comments remain expanded.
• Choose which PR template to use when creating a new pull request (requires that "githubPullRequests.pullRequestDescription": "template" is set).


• Metadata from issue templates (e.g., assignees, labels) is now applied when creating a new issue from a template.
• Issues created from TODO comments are assigned to the current user by default.
• "githubPullRequests.createOnPublishBranch" can be set to "always" to always create a pull request when publishing a branch.
• Open pull requests can be converted to drafts from the pull request description webview.


• We attempt to unwrap shortened commit lines in the pull request description webview to improve readability.
• Copilot can generate descriptions for existing pull requests. "Edit" the description then use the sparkle icon to have Copilot generate a description.


• Instead of checking out the default branch when you're done with a PR, you can configure that the PR base branch is checked out with "githubPullRequests.postDone": "checkoutPullRequestBaseBranch".
• You can change the base branch of a PR from the pull request description webview.


• PR branches can be configured to be automatically deleted when the PR is merged from this extension with the setting "githubPullRequests.deleteBranchAfterMerge": true.
• When opening a folder for the first time, existing PR branches will be discovered and added to the "Local Pull Request Branches" view.
