GitLab merge requests & GitHub pull requests from VS Code
Author: Joyal James
Features
Create Merge Request / Pull Request
Create an MR or PR directly from VS Code (remote is auto-detected when possible).
Auto-fill source branch, title, and common target branches (master, dev, develop).
Assignees, reviewers, and labels (GitLab + GitHub).
GitLab-only options: delete source branch and squash on merge.
My Merge Requests
Lists open merge/pull requests you created for the current repo.
Open or copy URLs; conflict hint when the platform reports conflicts.

Description
gitmerge.token
Personal access token for GitLab or GitHub.
gitmerge.platform
auto (default), gitlab, or github.
gitmerge.instanceUrl
Optional base URL for self-managed GitLab or GitHub Enterprise.
Legacy keys gitlabmergeplus.token and gitlabmergeplus.instanceUrl are still read as fallbacks.
Tokens
GitHub: Classic PAT with repo, or a fine-grained token with Pull requests and Contents (Read and write) for this repo (authorize SSO on the org if needed). Merge/close need write access, not read-only public_repo.
GitLab: Token with api and read_user — gitlab.com or your instance.
