Apr 25, 2019Denise Chan

Summary
This post introduces the Atlassian for VS Code extension, which brings Bitbucket Cloud pull requests, CI/CD (Bitbucket Pipelines), and Jira Software Cloud issues directly into the Visual Studio Code IDE. Key features include a Pull Request Explorer for listing and managing PRs, viewing diffs with line-level comments, interacting with Bitbucket Pipelines builds and logs, and an editor for `bitbucket-pipelines.yml` with IntelliSense and Pipe support. It also enhances the integration between Jira and Bitbucket by automatically creating branches from Jira issues, linking related issues to PRs, and allowing code snippets to be linked to new Jira issues.
