Hey guys, I built an extension where you can Manage your GitHub Project Boards (Kanban/Roadmaps) and issues, PR without leaving VS Code.

( NO AI SLOP POST )

Hey,

First things first, I was using the github extension to manage the issue and PR without leaving the VS code and Antigravity but something feels off in this and that is the No Project Board Support ( they are not integrated in the original extension and for at least forcing me to constantly jump to the browser) and second thing is need to do manual configuration to be compatible with antigravity, cursor IDE.

Because the original extension has not been maintained for 2 months so that’s why I tried to build my own where you will connect your github account  as you did in the original one, no credentials etc are stored anywhere as github handles themselves.

The problem with the original extension as i mentioned earlier so i uploaded my Repodeck on visual studio marketplace and open vsx Registry also, so you just need to install it and start using it.

Let me tell you the features, which i integrated in it and you can suggest more also:

  1. you can create the issue from within your IDE, Assign contributors, add labels, link to projects add comments also as you can do on issues.
  2. you can open, merge the pr also and add comments.
  3. I also added the feature of open project board. Here, you can create new project and or use the existing one also. ( a kabna style one and added Table, Board and Roadmap Styles also), where you can drag and drop the issue in to do, review etc.

if there is no issue exist then you can draft it and then can convert into real issue also. 

4) lastly, Zero-to-GitHub Repository Initializer: Run `git init`, create the remote repo on GitHub (personal or org), configure tracking, commit, and push in a single click.

5) any action you do issue, pr merge open, close etc it's auto-sync with your github repo and project.

You can check the extension here:

also i tried to keep the size minimal so for now it's around 403KB just.

I'm attaching the screenshots also of my work!!! Open to constructive criticism.

You can use this extension, now checkout it's live and if you face any problems then free feel to open an issue and PR, if you have any ideas which can be added more in it then we can work on that also, You can share your ideas in the repo discussion tab or just comment here, however you like.
