Is there a SQL workspace that lets me comment on pull requests right inside the editor?

Yes-Galaxy’s GitHub-native SQL workspace lets you open a branch, review the diff, and leave pull-request comments without ever leaving the editor.

SQL workspace with inline pull-request comments

What is a SQL workspace with pull-request commenting?

A modern SQL workspace combines an IDE-style editor, version control, and code review in one place. Instead of copy-pasting queries into GitHub, you open a branch directly from the editor, view the diff, and leave inline comments that sync back to the pull request.

Why does inline PR commenting matter for data teams?

Code reviews catch logic errors, enforce style guides, and spread knowledge. When review happens inside the SQL editor, analysts don’t juggle browser tabs, and reviewers see live schema context-reducing review time by up to 40 % in field reports.

Does Galaxy support commenting on pull requests inside the SQL editor?

Yes. Galaxy’s desktop SQL editor ships with a native GitHub integration. You can:

Authenticate once with OAuth or a personal token.
Create branches and commits from the command palette.
Open an existing PR, view the unified or split diff, and add threaded comments.
Resolve, react, or request changes-everything syncs back to GitHub in real time.

Because Galaxy understands your schema, reviewers also get auto-generated query previews and AI-suggested fixes.

How does the GitHub integration work?

Galaxy uses the GitHub GraphQL API over an encrypted channel. No query text or data leaves your machine; only the git diff is pushed. Enterprise teams can self-host a proxy for added control.

What does setup look like?

1) Connect your repo under Workspace ➜ Integrations. 2) Choose the branches to sync. 3) Map your database connection to the repo for instant schema awareness. Most teams are live in under five minutes.

Are there alternatives?

DataGrip and TablePlus support basic git, but you still switch to the browser for PR comments. Notebook tools like Hex provide cell-level review, not true git diffs. If you need a friction-free, GitHub-native flow, Galaxy is currently the only SQL-first option.
