Pull Request View
Opening a pull request takes you to a focused review screen. The header shows the PR title, author, and status. A toolbar holds the primary actions (merge, review). The body is organised into four tabs.
The four tabs
Each tab is one number key away. The number badge next to a tab tells you how many items live inside.
- 1 Overview. The PR description, top-level comments, and a summary of any issues the author called out. Start here.
- 2 Tasks. Blockers and open task items pulled from the PR. Use this tab to see what is left before the PR can land.
- 3 Checks. CI and status checks for the head commit. Failing checks are surfaced at the top so you can spot regressions without scrolling.
- 4 Files. The diff. Every modified file rendered with syntax highlighting, ready for review comments.
Moving through the page
Long PRs are easier to scan when you do not have to reach for the mouse. Use j to jump to the next landmark — the next file, comment, or section — and k to go back. This works on every tab.
A sticky header keeps the PR title and tab bar visible as you scroll, so you always know where you are.
Pull request actions
The toolbar and keyboard expose the actions you need most:
- o opens the pull request on GitHub in your browser.
- Cmd+Shift+C copies the PR link to your clipboard.
- b checks out the branch locally (when a local repository is connected).
- r opens the review drawer so you can start a review.
For the review and merge drawers in detail, see the Merge & Review page.
