Pull requests using the Azure DevOps plugin in JetBrains Rider


I have installed the Azure DevOps plugin for Rider on macOS, and I am trying to create a pull request from my local branch into the remote master branch up on DevOps. I was able to authenticate and clone the repo from the Open from Version Control dialog, and I can push to the upstream branch directly, but I can't find anything about creating a pull request.

I've looked in View -> Tool Windows as well as the whole Git menu, including the Push dialog, but nothing. The plugin is enabled and properly authenticated. Any insight as to what's going on?


Solution

  • I test the Azure DevOps plugin for Rider on Windows (I don't have a MacOS agent).

    I found that I can search the keyword pull request to find the option to create a pull request. Please try to search "Pull request" and see if it works on MacOS.

    My steps:

    1. Search the keyword pull request. search

    2. Click the create a pull request and create a pull request. It will show a Tip that the Pull request is created.

      Pull request is created.

    3. Click the Tip to navigate to the pull request page

      pull request page

    Update

    I wonder where that option is actually located.

    I searched "pull request" in the settings and found it should be located in Main Menu > Git > VCS Group > Git. But I didn't find it in the Main Menu.

    Then in the settings > Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars, I found the option is located in "Vcs.MainMenu", but in the Main Menus's Git is shows options in "Git.MainMenu".

    Luckly, I found we can Customize menus and toolbars. So, I added the "create a pull request" to "Git.MainMenu".

    enter image description here

    Now, I can see the "create a pull request" in the Main Menus > Git.

    Do you know if it's possible to link it to work items?

    Yes, you can add the #ID in the description to link work items to the pull request.
