Review code locally, post suggestions directly to GitHub and GitLab pull requests — without leaving VS Code.
ReviewBridge lets you edit files in your editor as part of the review process, then converts those local changes into native inline PR/MR suggestions that your teammates can accept with one click.
How it works
Open a repository that has an open PR (GitHub) or MR (GitLab)
Make edits to the files you want to suggest changes on
Run ReviewBridge: Convert Suggestions from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P)
ReviewBridge detects your local diff, matches it against the PR head, and shows a preview
Confirm — suggestions are posted as inline review comments on the PR/MR
Features
GitHub & GitLab support — works with github.com and gitlab.com (self-hosted instances supported via PAT)
Native suggestions — posted as proper inline suggestions, not plain comments. Reviewees can accept them with one click.
Zero copy-paste — edit files as you normally would; ReviewBridge figures out the rest
Secure auth — GitHub uses VS Code's built-in auth; GitLab uses OAuth 2.0 PKCE (no passwords stored)
Preview before posting — review what will be posted before confirming
Requirements
The repository must have an open PR (GitHub) or MR (GitLab) for the current branch
For GitHub: you'll be prompted to sign in via VS Code's built-in GitHub authentication
For GitLab: sign in with your browser via OAuth — no token setup needed
