PR Forge
AI-powered PR description and review generator for VS Code.
PR Forge turns your branch diff into a polished PR title, description, and full code review — then submits the PR to GitHub, all from a sidebar panel or the status bar.
Supports DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, and Ollama (local).
Features
- Generate PR Body — AI-written title + description from your
base..HEAD diff, commits, and test output.
- Generate Full PR Review — structured review with blocking issues, suggestions, security concerns, test coverage, and a recommendation.
- GitHub-style preview — rendered preview panel with copy / open-in-editor actions.
- Submit PR / Submit Draft PR — creates the PR on GitHub via the REST API without leaving VS Code.
- Multi-provider — switch between AI providers any time; API keys are stored in VS Code SecretStorage, never in project files.
- Project type detection — auto-detects .NET, Node, React, and Python to seed sensible defaults.
