Pull request improvements

We’ve made several improvements to the pull request process, making it more efficient.

To create a new PR, click on the + icon or go to Git | GitHub | Create Pull Request. The IDE will open a form in the Pull Requests view, prompting you to provide the details.
When creating a new pull request, you can select the desired branches from a new drop-down list that includes all the branches available for the current project.

The Files tab contains the changed files. If you double-click on any file there, the IDE will open the in-editor diff for that file.

In the Info tab you can select the head repository and its branch, enter a PR title and description, appoint reviewers and assignees, and add descriptive labels. You can also create draft pull requests.

PhpStorm 2021.1 will also support PR templates. Add the pull_requst_template.md file with the PR description to your project, and every time you create a PR this description will appear in it.

See the full list of changes in this build in the release notes.
