Open on GitHub Web (VS Code Extension)

What it does

• Adds a command, context menus, and an editor title button to open the current file on GitHub for the active branch.
• Supports both HTTPS and SSH remotes (including GitHub Enterprise hosts).
• Preserves the current text selection by appending GitHub line anchors (e.g., #L10-L20).

Usage

• Editor: Click the GitHub button in the editor title bar, right-click in the editor and choose "Open on GitHub", or press Cmd+Alt+G (macOS) / Ctrl+Alt+G (Windows/Linux).
• Explorer: Right-click a file and choose "Open on GitHub".

Notes

• Prefers the origin remote; falls back to the first remote if origin is missing.
• If the branch name is unavailable (detached HEAD), it uses the current commit SHA.
• Works with GitHub Enterprise by using the remote host detected from your repo URL.

Branding

• Icon: place your PNG at open-on-github/images/icon04.png (128×128 or 256×256 recommended). The manifest references this path.

Install (local)

1. Open this folder in VS Code.
2. Press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host and try the command/menus.

Install (VSIX)

• Build locally: cd open-on-github && npx @vscode/vsce package (outputs a .vsix named like open-on-github-web-0.1.2.vsix).
• Install: code --install-extension open-on-github-web-*.vsix or via Extensions view → … → Install from VSIX.

GitHub Release (CI)

• Push a tag like v0.1.0 to the repo. GitHub Actions will build open-on-github-web.vsix and attach it to the release.
• Team can download the VSIX from the release and install it.

Marketplace (optional)

• Create a VS Code publisher, set publisher in package.json, then run npx vsce publish (requires a Marketplace PAT). See https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension.

CI auto-publish

• Set repo secret VSCE_PAT with a VS Code Marketplace Personal Access Token (scope: Marketplace > Manage).
• Optional: Set OVSX_TOKEN to also publish to Open VSX for VSCodium users.
• Tag a release like v0.1.0 or use "Run workflow" on the "Publish to Marketplaces" action.
• The workflow publishes from open-on-github/package.json using its publisher and version.

Create a publisher

• VS Code Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/manage → Create Publisher (ID should match publisher in package.json, e.g., elropero).
• Generate PAT: https://dev.azure.com → User settings → Personal Access Tokens → New Token → Scopes: Marketplace (Acquire, Publish), Packaging (Read).
