Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.136, an update to the popular programming editor that previews an Agent Merge feature and introduces two experimental features for agentic coding.
VS Code 1.136 was released September 2 and can be downloaded from code.visualstudio.com.
Agent Merge, a preview feature, helps take a pull request across the finish line, Microsoft said. Agent Merge asks an agent to address review feedback, fix failed checks and merge conflicts, and rerun workflows until the pull request is ready to merge. To use Agent Merge, turn on the setting chat.agentMerge.enabled. Then you can enable Agent Merge for a session by running “Enable Agent Merge for Active Session” from the Agents window or selecting the “Agent Merge” button in the title bar.
