What Is Code Suggest?

GitLens Code Suggest simplifies code review by allowing you to make suggestions and edits across the entire project, not just on changed lines.
Suggestions can be created within GitLens, GitKraken Desktop, or gitkraken.dev and attached to pull requests.

Reviewers can then view, accept, and apply these suggestions directly to the pull request branch.

1. Open the GitLens Inspect Overview for your repository.
2. Check out a branch with an open pull request.
3. Select Start Review for PR #PR.
4. Modify and save any files you want to include in the suggestion.
5. When ready, select Suggest Changes for PR → provide a title → Create Code Suggestion.
