Disable "hidden conversations" in GitHub pull requests?

Tags:

github

When I go to a page of an open PR in GitHub, e.g. https://github.com/xyz/abc/pull/123, when the number of conversations exceeds some limit, GitHub automatically collapses some of them in the middle under a box that says "[n] hidden conversations"; you have to click "Load more" in order to see them.

Since the open conversations are the most important thing on a PR and the reason I open or refresh the page in the first place, is there a way to undo this and always show all the conversations? I haven't seen anything relevant in settings; does a browser extension exist to do this?

Can you make pull requests private?

How to make a private pull request? Pull requests opened on private repositories remain private. Therefore, if you aim to prevent students from copying others' solutions, then you'd better consider making the assignments private. To do so, you could ask GitHub for an academic discount on your organization.

How do I hide a pull request?

Currently it is not possible to hide those pull requests. A pull request has three major statuses; open, merged and declined. I checked Atlassian's feature requests and this one, BSERV-10114, is about being able to filter on the ones that needs work.

How do I see resolved conversations on GitHub?

Click on the “Resolve conversation” button to collapse a thread. When viewing a resolved conversation you can choose “Unresolve” to bring it back into view. Each resolved conversation indicates who resolved it.

I've had the same issues. This isn't a solution, but it might be a workaround. I only just discovered it, so I'll have to see how it feels going forward.

  1. In a GitHub PR, change the tab from "Conversation" to "Files changes"
  2. There's a new dropdown called "Conversations", which seems to list all of them.

Again, I know this isn't a solution. I would prefer to find the same solution you're seeking. But I wanted to share this for anyone else landing here with the same issue in case someone finds it helpful, because I didn't know that it existed until now.

Also, I'm cross-posting this information in a related webapps.stackexchange question: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/148308/how-to-always-show-all-pr-conversations-in-github
