file-pr-viewer

A VS Code extension that lists GitHub pull requests that touched the currently active file. View them in a panel and open links directly to GitHub.

Features

• PR details: Shows number, title, state, author, and merge date

Requirements

• VS Code 1.109.0 or later
• Git repository with a GitHub remote (origin)
• GitHub account (for authentication)

How to use

1. Open a file in a Git repo that has origin pointing to GitHub
2. Open the panel (View > Output, or use the panel tab bar) and select "File PR Viewer" / "PRs for File"
3. Sign in to GitHub when prompted (first use)
4. PRs that modified the current file appear in the list
5. Click a PR to open it in your browser

Extension Settings

This extension does not add any configurable settings.

Known Issues

• Only works with GitHub remotes. GitLab, Bitbucket, etc. are not supported.
• PR detection is limited to the last 25 commits for the file (performance).
• Requires the commit to be associated with a PR via GitHub's API (e.g. squash merges may not always link correctly).
