Show HN: Get GitHub Links from VS Code
marketplace.visualstudio.comHi HN community,
A few friends of mine and I built Tym – a small VS Code extension that makes it easy to share code snippets and get feedback from your teammates.
With Tym, you can select a snippet of code and add a question or terminal dump right from the right-click menu. Your teammates can then easily browse your code in a web-based version of VSCode, even if you have uncommitted changes (we make a commit to a hidden git reference in your repo).
We made Tym so we don’t have to go to Github and find lines every time we want to share a piece of code. With Tym, you can stay in VS Code and easily share links to your code.
Tym is free and all the code is hosted on your Github repository. So only people who have permission to access your repo can see your code snippets.
We hope you’ll give it a try and let us know what you think! We’re passionate about improving code collaboration, you can join our discord or follow us on twitter to discuss more!

Twitter: https://twitter.com/tymcollab very nice! I can see how this could be very productive for team (particularly remote ones) who want to collaborate more closely in ways like pair programming and code debugging, since users don't have to copy-paste the code to places like Slack and ask questions. For people working with code for long hours every day, I can see how this saves many productive dev hours in the long run. Just installed! I've been looking for something like this after our small dev team went remote.
