Four new tools for your Visual Studio Code and GitLab tool belt

The GitLab Workflow extension for Visual Studio Code has introduced several new features to enhance the merge request (MR) review process, including snippet patches for suggesting extensive code changes, improved CI pipeline status displays for better reliability, and interactive tools for working with checked out code. Snippet patches allow reviewers to suggest changes across multiple files without size constraints, while the CI status improvements ensure up-to-date and clear information on job progress. Users can now check out MR branches locally to review and run code more efficiently and open local files for context during reviews. Additionally, the extension now supports browsing remote repositories without downloading data, useful for navigating large repositories without intending to modify the code. These features, largely contributed by community members, aim to streamline the review process and encourage community involvement in further development.
