Custom pull request description
I always mannually enter Fixes #${issueNumber} in my descriptions, I'd like to have this done automatically. Ability to provide custom pull request description with advanced settings similar to the setting: githubIssues.issueBranchTitle
Is this still being worked on? Would love to work on it if possible so that I could fix this problem because I like this extension but this is a feature I would like to have.
What is the cue that the extension can use to know which issue number to put in the PR description? Do you folks use the "work on an issue flow" ?
Well, for example I usually write on the description "Closes [issue number]" then GitHub automatically links the PR with the issue and when merged, the issue gets closes.
How should the extension know/guess which issue number should be written in the description? What information should we try to cue off of to understand which issue you want to link?
Oh sorry actually I have realized I misunderstood the original issue. What I want is a suggestion popup when I start writing a # just like in GitHub. Maybe I create another issue for this?
The "Create" view and the PR description are webviews, so we don't have completions there. That feature request is https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/issues/2401.
Oh I see that's quite unfortunate. But after checking the source code, it seems there's a component responsible for the description input. Wouldn't it be possible to listen for changes and show the popup when someone types the # symbol. Sorry but I initially thought this was an easy thing to do. It's because I don't have a good understanding of the code I guess.
