Pull request panel
Section titled “Pull request panel”When a task has a linked PR, the GitHub Pull Request panel shows live information from GitHub:
| Section | What you’ll see |
|---|---|
| Header | PR title, number, author, state (Open, Draft, Merged or Closed) and View GitHub PR link |
| Branches | The source branch and the branch it’s merging into |
| CLI | A ready-to-copy gh pr checkout <number> command. Click it to copy, then paste it into your terminal to check out the branch. |
| Stats | Commits, files changed, lines added and lines removed |
| Status Checks | The combined CI result and each check run, with links to the details |
| Files | Every changed file with its additions and deletions, linking to the file on GitHub |
| Reviews | The latest review from each reviewer and whether they approved or requested changes |
If the panel says Unable to load PR information, the PR may be private to an account you haven’t connected, or the link may be wrong. See Troubleshooting.
If no PR is linked you’ll see No GitHub PR linked. Edit the task to add one.
Contributor signals
Section titled “Contributor signals”Contributor Signals gives a quick, automatic picture of the PR author’s history in the repository, such as how many PRs they’ve merged. Top PR Contributors shows who else has been most active. These help reviewers judge how much context the author is likely to have.
Discussion
Section titled “Discussion”The Discussion section is where your team talks about the task. When the task has a linked PR, the discussion box is also where you approve, request changes, close or merge. See Reviewing pull requests and Comments.
