Top Community Feature Requests for GitHub
Reviewing 2,000-line PRs is painful, but managing stacked PRs manually when base branches get review commits requires external CLI tools. Build first-class stacked diffs directly into GitHub Pull Requests.
GitHub Actions YAML files become unmanageable for complex pipelines. Provide a visual pipeline builder with drag-and-drop steps that generates the YAML automatically.
Dependabot alerts are scattered. Build a unified dashboard showing all dependency vulnerabilities across all repos in an organization with prioritized remediation suggestions.
Monorepos are mainstream but GitHub UI shows the entire repo. Provide a UI-level sparse checkout where teams only see their relevant directories and related CI workflows.
Round-robin review assignment does not account for reviewer workload. Implement smart assignment based on current review queue depth, expertise matching, and availability.
The flat file view during large pull requests is hard to navigate. A permanent expandable file tree sidebar similar to VS Code would make reviewing giant PRs much easier.
