What is the use case for this, I wonder? I am not being snide, genuinely not sure what I'd do with it, which is ok, however I am curious.

- grliga 6y agoMaybe when you find a line you want to discuss/share with other people online?
- mtm7 6y agoI use a similar extension for VS Code. My use case is to share certain lines of code with coworkers. I didn't realize it would be so helpful, but I probably use it at least 3 times every day.
- lathiat 6y agoWhich one are you using? I'd love this. It's usually precisely to reference it in a bug report, to a coworker, in a support case explaining software behaviour, etc.
- grossvogel 6y agoI send links to specific lines or chunks of code pretty much every day (using a similar VS Code plugin), usually to show an example of a pattern or show where / how a particular piece of logic is implemented. Or sometimes to give an idea of a possible home for a new piece of logic
- jweir 6y agoI use it all the time, the Fugitive version, to share or point a block of code with my tram. I will select a block, :Gbrowse, then copy and paste the url to my collaborators. Basically a round about way of linking to lines a file.
- lloeki 6y agoThis use case doesn’t need to round trip to GH? The URL could be yanked straight into a vim register, including * or + (making it available to whatever clipboard your OS fancies)
