Review pull requests from within Visual Studio
Blog post from GitHub
The GitHub for Visual Studio Extension team has officially launched a feature allowing users to manage pull request reviews directly within Visual Studio, enhancing the workflow for GitHub users who develop with this editor. This update enables seamless navigation of pull requests, including viewing, checking out, and reviewing them, without needing to leave the Visual Studio environment. Users can start reviews, comment inline, and submit feedback all from within the GitHub pane, with additional improvements such as easier navigation from diff to editor view, various bug fixes, and the use of GraphQL instead of REST for updates. The team is actively seeking feedback on how users communicate in pull requests and utilize GitHub.com, encouraging input via Twitter or their tracking issue to further refine and support user workflows.
