This comes built in to vscode, you right click on any piece of code and select 'copy as github permalink', done.

Hey, thanks for the comment. Another commenter also shared this plugin, looks interesting! We are trying to really help devs get on the same page fast when sharing code with one another - so the codelinks you can share via CodeLink unfurl in slack (we've got more integrations coming too) and link directly to the code in your repo or IDE. We also integrate with JetBrains which was some feedback we got from our early users - definitely keen for feedback so appreciate yours, keep it coming!

> If you don't have the repo locally, it'll check it out for you. If you're not on the right commit/branch it'll swap to it for you.

Does it ask to do this? Checking out a branch is not so simple, maybe I have modified files locally and don't want to stash them right now.

Yep! It does this. You'll be prompted with a popup to confirm if you want to switch branches. If you don't confirm it won't do anything.

That's great to hear - we are really pleased to offer integrations with multiple IDEs to support as many devs as possible. If you get a chance to test it out on your JB set up, would love to hear your thoughts.

Cannot create class io.codelink.plugins.actions.EstablishConnectionAction

This appears to be a Jetbrains equivalent to the aforementioned VSCode plugin (I haven't tried either so can't speak to feature parity):

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17756-copy-git-link

Edit: I just tried it, works great! Happy to have found this plugin via this post as I often open up Github just to link someone to a particular line of code I'm looking at in my IDE

having one plugin that does both editors is what perked my interest

I believe this is added with the "GitHub Pull Requests and Issues" extension.
