ADO PR Notifier

Get Azure DevOps Pull Request notifications directly in VS Code. Be notified when you're tagged as a reviewer, mentioned in comments, or when PR status changes — and take action without leaving the editor.

Features

• Real-time notifications — polls Azure DevOps and shows toast notifications when:
  • You are assigned as a reviewer
  • You are mentioned in a PR comment
  • A PR's status changes (merged, closed, etc.)
• Sidebar PR list — dedicated Activity Bar panel showing all relevant PRs grouped by repository, with reviewer votes and status at a glance
• Take action from VS Code:
  • ✅ Approve / Approve with Suggestions
  • ❌ Request Changes / Reject
  • ⏳ Wait for Author
  • 💬 Add comments, reply to threads, resolve/reactivate threads
  • 📊 View PR stats (comments, threads, iterations, files changed)
  • ✔️ Complete PR (merge, squash, rebase)
  • 🚀 Set / Cancel Auto-Complete
  • 🗑️ Abandon PR
  • 📄 View changed files
  • 🔗 Open PR in browser
• Status bar indicator — shows unread PR notification count
