This is possible because of the new APIs that has been integrated with VSCode to provide the ability to verify PRs. They can verify the Pull Requests and add comments from right inside the VS Code editor. This is a huge benefit for developers from a productivity standpoint since they don't need to leave their editor and navigate to GitHub for reviewing Pull Requests. Following the launch of LiveShare, this extension to manage the GitHub Pull Requests from within the VSCode editor will make developers lives much easier. There are monthly releases with new features back to back and that has been a strong reason why the developer community has embraced this tool. Visual Studio Code is growing in popularity and has been ranked as the #1 developer tool in 2018. With Microsoft adopting the open source culture at a rapid pace during the last few years, this collaboration between VS Code and GitHub Teams is an exciting prospect.

In this blog, we will discuss the new GitHub Pull Request extension that enables you to collaborate, comment, review, and validate pull requests directly from Visual Studio Code.

It was not a long wait and we saw a number of announcements made by Microsoft recently which includes its collaboration with GitHub. A few months back, Microsoft acquired GitHub and we expected to see some interesting collaboration following the acquisition.
