I also run into this. We have a template that would be nice to include when PR is created from VScode. That's the only functionality that is missing in order to use, for now will need to continue to create via Github.

Thanks :)

Same here. It would be amazing to be able to edit the PR description before creating but at very least including PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md as the default description so it can be edited later is a must for me to be able to use this to create PRs.

I would enjoy having this feature too, it would be super helpful.
Thanks ! ;)

Just checked in a change for this, when creating a pull request, the extension will now look for a PR template and use it as the default description (or show a quick pick if the repo has multiple templates).

There are still open issues on improving the create experience to allow editing the title and description before create, so we still have work to do there.

Im not sure why but when I create PR's via VSCODE I am still not getting the template pulled in, is there anything I need to do to enable this functionality?

@bmbermn This is with version 0.12.0 of the extension? Can you open a new issue and include the name and relative location of your template to the root of the repository?
