Git PR Reviewer is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to streamline code reviews for your team. Access open and closed pull requests, review file changes with native side-by-side diffs, check out PRs locally, and merge them—all without leaving your editor.
Features

Interactive Webview Panel: Click a PR to open a detailed tab showing description, branches, and file change statistics (+/- counts).
One-Click Diff Review: Click any changed file in the list to open a side-by-side VS Code Diff Editor showing changes compared to the base branch—without needing to checkout the branch first!
Smart Checkout: Checkout PR branches locally with one click. Uncommitted changes are stashed automatically to avoid conflicts.
Dynamic Switch-Back: A status bar button and Quick Pick entry let you instantly return to your original work branch when you finish reviewing.
