vscode-line-meta

Makes sharing code locations easier by providing useful editor and repository metadata.

Features

The vscode-line-meta extension makes sharing code locations easier by complementing the usual code screenshot with useful editor (e.g., selected lines, file path, etc.) and repository (e.g., branch, last commit, etc.) metadata.

Features include:

  • Generate useful editor and repository metadata
  • Select from 3 supported metadata output formats:
    • JSON: all metadata contained in editor and repo sub-objects (e.g., editor.selectedContent, repo.fetchUrl, repo.branch.name, etc.)
    • CSV: simplified metadata of the format <branch>,<file-path>,<selected-lines>
    • Text: like CSV but delimited by |

Usage

  • Use the command Get Line Meta to launch the output format menu
  • Select an output format
  • A new editor tab will open with the metadata in the selected output format
  • Edit & share the metadata

Video Demo
