SprintHub

Your GitHub sprint board, PR hub, and standup generator — right inside VS Code.

SprintHub is a VS Code extension that connects directly to your GitHub Projects v2 board and surfaces everything your team needs to move work forward — without switching windows. It reads your project's issues, pull requests, CI statuses, sprint iterations, and review states in real time and presents them in a purpose-built panel alongside your code.

Dashboard — act on what matters, instantly

The Dashboard is SprintHub's main view. It fetches every open pull request linked to your board — including PRs that close a board issue via Fixes #N syntax, even if the PR itself isn't on the board — and groups them by what action is needed next.

Each row shows the PR's age, CI status (pass/fail/pending), review status (approved/changes requested/pending), diff size, assignees, and branch name. You never need to open GitHub to answer "what's blocking this?"

Assigned to me — a one-click filter that reduces the list to PRs you authored, are assigned to, or have been asked to review.

Waiting on me — rows where you appear as a requested reviewer are highlighted with a purple accent so you can't miss a review request buried in a long list.

Stale badge — PRs with no activity for more than 7 days show an amber indicator in the age column.

Main Board — your full sprint Kanban

The Main Board tab mirrors your GitHub Project v2 exactly: every column, every issue, every pull request, in the same order. You can filter the entire board by sprint iteration with a single dropdown, or search by title, number, author, label, branch name, or sprint name.

Clicking any card opens the detail panel (see below) without leaving the editor.

Detail panel — deep context, no context switch

Clicking any item — whether from the dashboard, the board, or a milestone — opens a side panel with everything you need to understand and act on that PR or issue.

For pull requests, the panel shows:

• PR quality flags — colored chips that surface risks before you waste time reviewing: stale (open >7 days), large diff (>500 lines changed), no description written, no reviewers assigned, no test files touched
• Changed files — every file modified, with per-file diff stats (+/-), a filter input when the list is long, and CODEOWNERS hints showing which team owns each file
• Review summary — how many approvals, how many change requests, who is still pending
• CI badge — overall pass/fail/pending, expandable to individual check run results with links to the CI provider
• Description — the full PR body rendered as text
• Metadata — author, assignees, repository, column, created/updated times

For issues, the panel shows linked pull requests with their CI states, and a metadata editor to add or remove labels without opening GitHub.

Merge without leaving VS Code

When a PR has at least one approval and all CI checks are passing, a Merge button appears in the detail panel header. Clicking it opens a dropdown with three options — squash and merge, create a merge commit, or rebase and merge. The merge is performed via the GitHub API and the panel updates immediately.

Other actions available directly in the panel:

• Copy branch name — copies the branch to your clipboard; a checkmark confirms for 1.8 seconds
• Work on This — runs git checkout (or fetch + checkout) in a VS Code terminal, switching your workspace to that branch
• Draft → Ready — converts a draft PR to ready for review via the GitHub API, no browser needed
• CODEOWNERS hints — parsed from your repo's CODEOWNERS file (.github/CODEOWNERS, CODEOWNERS, or docs/CODEOWNERS), shown inline next to each changed file
• File jump — clicking a file opens it in the editor at the relevant diff hunk

Daily standup — generated in one click

Click Standup in the top bar. SprintHub queries the GitHub search API for your activity in the last 24 hours — merged PRs, open PRs, and closed issues — and produces a structured markdown summary attributed to your GitHub login.

View mode — the standup renders as readable HTML with clickable PR links.

Markdown mode — the raw markdown is shown, ready to copy and paste into Slack, Notion, Jira, or your team's standup bot.

Click Copy Markdown to put it on your clipboard in one step.

Blockers — one command, full picture

Run SprintHub: Show Blockers from the Command Palette, or click the status bar item SprintHub adds. A searchable quick-pick lists every PR on your board that is currently blocked — CI failure, changes requested, or no reviewer — with a description of the specific blocker and a link to open it on GitHub.

This is useful in standups, team syncs, or any time you want a fast answer to "what's actually stuck right now."

Milestones

The Milestones tab groups every issue and PR from your board by its GitHub milestone. Useful for checking progress toward a release or a specific deliverable without building a separate view in GitHub.

Conflict detection

SprintHub watches your local workspace for uncommitted changes and periodically compares them against the files modified by other open PRs on the board. When overlap is detected — meaning you and another PR are both touching the same file — a dismissible warning banner appears at the top of the panel listing the affected files and which PRs they conflict with.

Setup — 2 minutes

1. Install SprintHub from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Click the SprintHub rocket icon in the activity bar → Open SprintHub
3. Click ⚙️ (top-right) to open Settings
4. Fill in:
   • Owner — your GitHub organization name or personal username
   • Project number — the number in your GitHub Project URL (.../projects/42 → 42)
   • Owner type — Organization or User
5. Click Save — the board loads immediately

SprintHub uses the GitHub session that VS Code already manages. No personal access tokens, no OAuth flow, no extra setup.
