Currently if we do a code snippet selection from the bottom to the top, the endLineNumber and startLineNumber are inverted, they should not.

The following URL isn't parsed correctly:
https://contoso.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/Contoso/_git/_optimized/MyRepository

Hello everyone 👋

Your VS extension seems to be exactly what I've been looking for... so cool to get an url pointing to a file of your code when you need to share something with a colleague! 👍

I've installed the extension, but I get no additional entry in my Windows context menu to copy the link. We have no Git but TFS repositories. Self-hosted Azure Devops. Maybe that's because (self hosted) TFS repositories are not supported?

Thank you in advance 😀

Odds are good you can do this just with a change to your source.extension.vsixmanifest file.

Since the VS update month or two ago.

You seem to have everything that is needed in place to add a small but very interesting Feature : from the link created, create an issue in GitHub and dump the link in the description. The title/summary could come from a dialog box.

While it usually performs admirably, I encountered a surprising bug today :

Environment

CopyGitLink Version 1.4.1
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 Version 16.11.1

What happened?

Generated a link without the first character of the file path :
https://github.com/Hectre/WebApp/blob/36fcd13a995694de4ffa440ba270d6d75711afd8/ectre.AspNetCore.Utilities.Tests/ApplicationFactory/CustomWebApplicationFactory.cs#L91-L91

Notice ectre.AspNetCore

What did you expect?

Generate a link with the complete file path :
https://github.com/Hectre/WebApp/blob/36fcd13a995694de4ffa440ba270d6d75711afd8/Hectre.AspNetCore.Utilities.Tests/ApplicationFactory/CustomWebApplicationFactory.cs#L91-L91

Notice Hectre.AspNetCore

Additional information

I was able to reproduce it with every type of link generation, on multiple files of various depths in this repository.

I was running short on memory due to a RoslynAnalyzer memory leak. After restarting Visual Studio, the link generation generated the files properly again.

The context menu of a Solution explorer item is usually huge. Git submenu is the very right place for this command

Create a link that points to a commit instead of branch

I have a project set up with submodules installed in a submodules folder. When I try to copy a link to a file/method/line in the submodule, I get a link like this:

https://github.com/my-project/blob/4467681febf6e48c347a2d50602d88c7f8395ca8/submodules/my-submodule/Globals.cs

It looks like the extension is using the URL of the remote from the superproject and then tagging on the physical file path. It would be nice if the extension could recognize that a file is in a submodule and correctly calculate the URL in the submodule's repo.

For Azure DevOps Server Version 17

The generated link does not work for this version of DevOps Server:
https://devops.yourcompany.com/collection/Project/_git/Repo/blob/ade633d76e8d92ce37f6aa49c5c68727aa7e4e10/PathToFile.cs#L100-123

The link that works:
https://devops.yourcompany.com/collection/Project/_git/Repo?path=PathToFile.cs&version=GBmaster&_a=contents&line=107&lineStyle=plain&lineEnd=147&lineStartColumn=1&lineEndColumn=5

Currently only http/https urls are supported: https://github.com/veler/CopyGitLink.git
We can improve it by adding ssh urls support: [email protected]:veler/CopyGitLink.git

When I select an entire line (by clicking in the left margin of the editor) and copy git link, I get a link that includes the line after the selection. Can that be omitted?

The working link is
user/repo -/blob/main/src/Something/File.cs
your link
user/repo blob/eae7f475ff2efa34e8asd559062baeab0/src/Something/File.cs#L27-27
Which gives me 404 even tho im logged in and have access to the repository.
I would really like to use this extension.
