GitHub Insert a Suggestion ☝

Today I learned that GitHub has allows you to insert a one-line suggestion while conducting a pull request review. Click on the button circled in red, and you'll get a suggestion fenced code block, as shown.

Inside the code block is the current code; replace it with your proposed change. GitHub will present your suggestion in a nice diff format.

When the pull requester views your suggestion, they can accept the change with one click. Efficient!

Multiple-lines are not yet supported, according to this GitHub blog post it is a frequently requested feature.
