  2. Open the command palette with Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Linux/Windows)
  3. Type “git: create pull request”

Zed will open your default browser with the PR creation page pre-filled with your branch information.

Requirements

  • Your branch must be pushed to the remote repository
  • Works with GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms that support PR URLs

Workflow

  4. Create PR with git: create pull request command

No more context switching between editor, terminal, and browser!
