Launchpad `PRO`

The GitLens Launchpad helps you manage pull requests by status, so you can quickly identify bottlenecks, prioritize work, and take action.

Search for GitLens: Open Launchpad, or select Pull Request from the status bar in VS Code.

To learn more about Launchpad, select Click to learn more about Launchpad when Launchpad asks you to connect an integration, the What is this? icon in the Launchpad status bar tooltip, or Learn about Launchpad… in the Launchpad view.
