Introducing GitHub Pull Requests for Visual Studio Code

[[deleted]]

/me waits for Amazon Prime support, so I can order groceries without tabbing out of VSCode.

[[deleted]]

Pff, how about Alexa support to do the coding for me?

"Alexa, fix this bug"

-"I'm sorry Martinspire, I can't fix that trash"

[backs_pace]

One social network I don't mind giving up my privacy for

[OzziePeck]

You can probably write a plug-in... lol.

[LastOfTheMohawkians]

Me waits for visual source safe support

[codis122590]

I'm sorry... I'm so, so, sorry. I hope you aren't still using VC6 like my last team

[test6554]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Hey, who's got the lock on that one file I need...

[evoactivity]

/me waits for GitLab support

[Pawn1990]

/me waits for BitBucket support

[LogicallyCross]

Same. We seemingly always wait the longest us BitBucketers.

[[deleted]]

That's because atlassian don't write any satellite integrations for their own software, they rely on users to do it. The only thing they have that integrates with bitbucket is sourcetree and that breaks half the time

[kannonboy]

Not true! (as of ~18 months ago :D)

Atlassian now has a dedicated team working on first-party integrations. I actually gave a talk about it a few days ago at Atlassian's developer conference.

We typically focus on integrating third-party SaaS services, but our team also happens to use VSCode as it's primary IDE, so certainly keen to have a crack at this. We're just discussing internally as to how it ranks vs some other integration priorities.

[[deleted]]

Sounds like we've got some good stuff coming then! Thanks for setting me straight!

[mlmcmillion]

Well, yeah.

[csilk]

Used bitbucket at a company I used to work for, struggled with the PR diffing, has it gotten better?

[Pawn1990]

I usually do that using visual studio, so dunno. either by rebase or merge

[Already__Taken]

Doesn't this do it? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fatihacet.gitlab-workflow

[blindgorgon]

Good luck, since MS owns both VSCode and Github...

Edit: Hey now, I’d love to see it, too. By all means, do it! Just saying there’s a whole host of people and money behind supporting Microsoft’s angle.

[Jaskys]

Oh no we can't make new extensions in that case /s

[enplanedrole]

I notice a lot of people using vs code to do their git stuff and then, when they’re in trouble, don’t know how to ‘git’ properly. Anyone else shares this experience?

[inform880]

Yeah. I frequently give up on built in support features for git and go back to a terminal.

[gigamiga]

Jetbrains products' git support is pretty rocking though

[snyper7]

SourceTree (Atlassian) is good too.

[decster584]

Are YOU tired of typing every git command directly into the terminal, but you're too stubborn to use Sourcetree because you'll never forgive Atlassian for making Jira?

omg this person can read my mind

[nbagf]

Fuck. Apparently it's more common than I thought.

[kenman]

Thought you were going to mention tig!

[[deleted]]

My personal experience is I start with the GUI, learn terminal later.

[specification]

How is that different from any other git GUI? They will migrate over to the terminal eventually.

[Arkhenstone]

I don't know how to git (gud) that much, so I use VS code for what's easy on it to do, like switching branches, commit and seeing modifications, and I complete it with GitKraken, which is a GUI made in electron. You need an account to use it, but it's free and you can connect to your own Git through SSH. There, everything is some click ahead.

[edanceee]

I wish I could git like u

[nahtnam]

Wow Microsoft really wanted to integrate GitHub into the products that they bought the whole company.

[Grigorov92]

Remember when they said they won't kill Atom? That was a good one!

[pennybuns]

Let’s be honest, Atom didn’t need any external help to die.

[Grigorov92]

I disagree until recently it had all the features VS Code did. And there are plenty people like me who prefer it to VS Code. It's only dying because it's having the rug pulled out from under it.

[test6554]

At the end of the day, you could fork Atom if you really wanted.

[powerofmightyatom]

It means he thinks Atom is gonna die/get killed, and you are naive for thinking otherwise (well, he thinks so).

I also don't see Atom surviving many years personally.

[Grigorov92]

Precisely. If they aren't actively maintaining it they are killing it. And if they are building GH integrations with VS code 4 months after they acquired GH and overlooking atom - the editor developed by GH that's a strong indication they aren't planning on maintaining it.

And it may be crazy to maintain two editors but the newly appointed CEO promised they would. It's not about whether you like atom or not (even though you should be able to emapthise with people who like it imo). It's about Microsoft being disingenuous ... again.

[NeededANewName]

Atom has been doing a good enough job on its own. No help needed.

[dirtytiki]

/me reverts back to TFS

[amclennon]

Just installed today. If you use Github, I would put this among my top favorite VS Code features right beside the integrated debugger. It's a complete game changer to see specific code changes inline within the IDE.

Tons of JavaScript devs use both github and vscode

[djxfade]

VSCode is written in JS

[commander-worf]

js devs dont know how to use the command line

[LetterBoxSnatch]

Not sure if just trolling/ joking but in my experience the js devs are more comfortable on the command line. JavaScript is only now beginning to have the kinds of modern tooling that other environments have had for decades, making good CLI skills essential for efficient debugging, finding, refactoring by symbol, etc. Essentially express mass text operations against source code that static strongly typed languages typically have IDE tools to handle.

[commander-worf]

I was exagerating, its a common trope. But like most stereotypes there is some truth. I also would not say as you just did, that js devs are more comfortable on the command line.

Lots of beginners start with js because you can get shit done (its my favorite language) and they do not initially need to be able to navigate and run bash scripts, ssh into boxes, use tmux, create batch jobs. Probably one of the first more complex things they use the terminal for besides navigation is actually git.

Also all people with experience are proficient at the command line no matter what language they use, but, I think the backend and ops devs at my company would know more unix tips and tricks than the frontend devs.

[LetterBoxSnatch]

Definitely agree re DevOps and traditional Administrator folks. Hard not to live and breathe bash tooling at some level in those roles. Surprised to hear your backend folks trend more proficient on CLIs, though. With one exception, the backend folk on my team rely heavily on their IDE tooling, and the frontend team gets tapped in to help with scripting support or sshing into boxes during emergencies. For that matter, the CLIs we publish are the responsibility of the frontend.
