Requirements
Visual Studio Code 1.103 or newer.
A workspace containing a local Git repository.
Local branches for the pull requests you want to review.
Usage
Open a Git workspace in VS Code.
Open the PR Review view from the activity bar.
Select Create pull request and choose the current and base branches.
Expand a PR to browse its changed files or select it to open the full diff.
Select the comment icon beside a changed line to add a review comment.
Use the actions menu to refresh, complete, or close the pull request.
When a PR is created, its diff is generated from Git and saved locally. Later opens use the persisted snapshot. Snapshots are stored in VS Code global storage, not in the repository.
