📱 How to Use

Step 1: Make Changes

Make changes to multiple files in your repository.

Step 2: Open Multi-PR Manager

1. Open the Source Control panel (Ctrl+Shift+G)

Step 4: Organize Files

Drag and drop files from the "Available Files" section into your buckets.

Step 5: Create PRs

Click "Create All PRs" and the extension will:

• ✅ Create feature branches for each bucket
• ✅ Stage and commit files to respective branches
• ✅ Push branches to GitHub
• ✅ Create Pull Requests (with GitHub CLI) or open browser for manual creation

⚙️ Configuration

Open VSCode Settings and search for "Multi-PR Manager":

• multiPR.defaultBaseBranch: Base branch for PRs (default: "main")
• multiPR.useGitHubCLI: Use GitHub CLI for automatic PR creation (default: true)

🔧 How It Works

Since GitHub doesn't support multiple PRs from the same branch, this extension:

1. Creates temporary feature branches for each PR bucket
2. Cherry-picks relevant files to each branch using selective staging
3. Creates separate PRs from each feature branch
4. Maintains clean history and proper PR organization

🆚 Why This Extension?

Before: Manual, tedious process

• Create branches manually
• Remember which files go where
• Copy-paste file changes
• Create PRs individually

After: Drag, drop, done!

• Visual organization of changes
• One-click PR creation
• Clean, separate commit history
• No token management hassles

🐛 Troubleshooting

Extension not visible?

• Make sure you're in a Git repository
• Check that Source Control panel is open (Ctrl+Shift+G)
• Look for "Multi-PR Manager" section

No files showing?

• Make some changes to files first
• Click the refresh button in Multi-PR Manager
• Check if files are already staged with git status

GitHub CLI not working?

• Install: brew install gh or visit cli.github.com
• Login: gh auth login
• Test: gh auth status

PRs not creating automatically?

• Extension will still create branches and open GitHub
• You can create PRs manually - branches are already pushed!
