• The setting githubPullRequests.createDefaultBaseBranch can be used to set the default base branch when creating a PR.

• The pull request create view now allows selecting both the source and target branch instead of always using the current branch as the source.

• Using ${user} twice in the githubPullRequests.queries no longer results in an error.
• Local branches are pruned when deleting the remote branch after merging a pull request.

• The views of the extension have been split into two viewlets: one with the GitHub logo which contains the overview of pull requests, and issues, and one containing views for the active pull request.

  

• The focused mode view has actions to refresh the view and open the description page.

• Thanks to @TanushN and @rohanshiva, assignees and the milestone are displayed on the description page.

• Resolved conversations are rendered as collapsed on the description page.

• Update the new "Create Pull Request" icon to be a sharper image.

• Creating a pull request now uses views in the activity bar. You can enter the details of the pull request and view the diff between the current branch and the base branch.

• There is new setting, githubPullRequests.pullRequestDescription, to control how the description is set when creating a pull request. By default, this uses the pull request template in the repository if it exists, but can also be changed to use the latest commit message, a custom message input at create time, or to ask which of these options to use. Thank you to @heaths for this feature!

• GitHub Action based status checks are now rendered on the description page.
• Commenting on stale pull requests is better handled.

• When you try to Start Working on Issue in a repository where you don't have permission to push, you now have the option to fork the repository. This flow will fork the repository and configure your remotes.

• When attempting to push changes to a repository that you do not have permissions to push to, the extension will now prompt you to fork the repository and push to that instead.

• For hovers, the max issue number for the repo is checked to reduce false positives(1860)

• Improved display of labels in issue hovers by swapping out the existing svg version of the labels for a newly supported html version.

• When creating a GitHub permalink, we now try to pick the "best" remote if the currently opened repository has several remotes. The priority of remote is upstream, ups, origin, then other names. The first remote from that ordering which contains the same commit that the current branch is on will be used in the permalink.
• Issue creation now better takes into account the file that you're coming from when you create an issue instead of only listening for repository change when a different repository is selected in the SCM view.

This API is not available for GitHub Enterprise, so please note that these features will not be available for those projects.

New settings

• githubPullRequests.defaultMergeMethod specifies which merge method (merge, rebase, or squash) to select by default, both on the description page and when using the Merge Pull Request command. This is set to merge by default.
