Requirements

You must not disable built-in Git extension (which is enabled by default) or you will get following prompt require-git-extension

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • shareGitFile.enableMarkdownSupport: enable to show Copy markdown context menu, default enabled.
  • shareGitFile.branchOption: branch to use when copy/open url, default is 'default branch'.
  • shareGitFile.defaultBranchName: default branch name, default 'master'.

Known Issues

  • As of release 0.0.6

    • No testing has been performed on non-Windows platform although it should just work (Please report if you find it broken!)
    • Git provider only supports Azure Repos only, but GitHub works as well with auto redirection (except for selection it defaults to file)

  • Copy markdown

    • While Microsoft Teams supports markdown, it does not format the pasted text as markdown, workaround may be delete the last char and enter it by keyboard
      • Further more, VS Code does not support copy HTML to clipboard and has no plan to do so until it becomes JS standard, see #77790
