Installation

We generated VSIXs from source code right now so you can download them from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/releases and then follow below steps to enable this extension

• Go to Extension Viewlet
• Click on the dropdown (··· icon) on the title bar of the viewlet
• Click Install from VSIX
• Open terminal and run code-insiders --enable-proposed-api Microsoft.vscode-pull-request-github to allow this extension to use proposed APIs.

Authentication

There are two ways of doing authentication

• GitHub access token, this is the recommended way right now. The config name is github.accessToken. Please make sure the token you put there has proper access to repo and user
• If there is no GitHub access token, the extension will try to use the local Git Credential Manager. Whether the authentication will work depends on if your local credentials work.
  • 🏃 There is an known bug when you are using ssh and the passphrase expires, the extension will fail slightly.
