The GitHub Pull Requests extension for Visual Studio Code has received several updates, enhancing its functionality for managing pull requests directly from the IDE. Users can now create pull requests by selecting the target branch and opening them effortlessly, as well as leave suggested edits as comments with an option to apply these changes through patches. Additionally, status checks for pull requests are now visible, indicating whether they are passing, failing, or in-progress. The latest version of the extension can be downloaded from the VS Code Pull Requests Repository, or updated directly within VS Code, offering a streamlined workflow for developers working with GitHub repositories.
