GitHub PR Integration & UI Redesign
Full GitHub PR integration with review threads, status checks, and merge from the app. Plus a complete UI refresh with Orkest branding.
GitHub PR Integration
Orkest now connects directly to your GitHub pull requests. See everything about your PR without leaving the app — status checks, review decisions, merge conflicts, and more.
- PR Status Card — Shows the current state (open, draft, merged, closed), CI check results, review decision (approved, changes requested), and mergeable status all in one glance
- One-Click Merge — Merge your PR directly from Orkest with a squash merge. The UI updates instantly with optimistic state, so you see "Merged" the moment you click
- Review Threads — Browse all review comments organized by thread. Click any thread to see the full conversation with proper markdown rendering, code references, and inline comments
- Smart PR Detection — Orkest automatically detects the correct active PR for your branch, even after merging one PR and creating another on the same workspace
Changes Tab
The right sidebar now has a dedicated Changes tab alongside General and Plan. It brings together everything related to your code changes in one place.
- Diff Viewer — See all changed files with a full diff view. Click any file to inspect additions and deletions with syntax highlighting
- PR Status & Actions — The PR status card lives at the top of the Changes tab, giving you quick access to checks, reviews, and the merge button
- Review Comments — All PR review threads are listed below the diff. Click any thread to read the full conversation with markdown support, emoji reactions, and bot badge formatting
- External Links — Jump to the PR or any specific file diff on GitHub with one click
GitHub Issues in Chat
Reference GitHub issues directly in your chat input. Orkest fetches open issues from your repository so you can mention them as context when working with the AI agent.
UI Redesign
A fresh visual overhaul with the Orkest brand identity. The new design uses updated brand colors, the Inter font family, and a cleaner layout across the entire app.
- New Orkest brand colors and refined dark theme
- Inter font for better readability across all UI elements
- Improved chat input toolbar with cleaner action layout
- Cleaner sidebar — Agents management moved to Settings, removing the tab switcher for a simpler navigation experience
Bug Fixes & Improvements
- PR status now refreshes instantly when the app window regains focus, instead of waiting for the next polling cycle
- Fixed stale PR detection after merging and creating new PRs on the same branch
- Changelog links now open the correct version-specific detail page instead of the generic changelog
- Removed unused code and dead imports for a smaller bundle size
