Description

Testing microsoft/vscode#122243

I had on uncommitted change on the default branch and clicked the Create PR button in the SCM view. I got a PR creation view that suggested to me to create a PR from main to main on the same repo.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior from the SCM view by clicking Create PR with an uncommitted change on the default branch. Trace the Create PR flow and verify that it no longer suggests creating a pull request from main to main in the same repository.
