The Sidebar

The sidebar on the left is your review queue. It lists every open pull request you wrote, are assigned to, or have been asked to review, from every repository and organization your GitHub account can see. Click a row to open it on the right. The sidebar stays put, so you can move through the queue without losing your place.

Reading a row

Each row shows the title, the repository and number, the author, and when it last changed. The rest is status, so you can tell what a pull request is waiting on without opening it:

• The icon sums up the checks: a green check when they pass, a dashed circle while they run, and a red alert when one fails.
• A red edge on the left marks pull requests that need you: someone else's that you've been asked to review, or your own with changes requested or a failing check.
• A badge shows the review state when there is one to show, such as Approved, Changes, or Draft.
• A brighter title means something changed since you last opened it.

Sorting and filtering

The list is sorted by Needs attention first by default. Use the menu above the list to sort by what is ready to merge, recently updated, oldest first, failing checks first, repository, author, or number.

The filter button next to the search box narrows the list by repository, author, or state (ready, draft, or assigned to you). The search box matches titles, repositories, authors, and numbers as you type.

Hiding pull requests

Right-click a row and choose Hide to take it out of the list, for example a pull request you're only following. Hiding is local to your machine and nothing is sent to GitHub. Once something is hidden, a link next to the count opens the hidden list, where you can unhide it again.

Syncing

Pull Panda keeps a local copy of your pull requests, so the sidebar is instant. It checks GitHub for changes in the background, more often while the window is focused. Press Shift+R to sync right away.

Moving with the keyboard

Press Shift+J and Shift+K to open the next or previous pull request in the list. Hold Cmd (or Ctrl on Windows and Linux) to see a number on the first nine rows, then press that number to jump straight to it.

Shortcuts for the sidebar

See the full keymap for every shortcut, or head to the Pull Request View docs for what to do once a pull request is open.
