Pull requests using the Azure DevOps plugin in JetBrains Rider

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

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

   

3. Click the Tip to navigate to the 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".

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.
