Hi YesYouKenSpace,

I find a tool offered from GitLens. I'm not sure if this is something you are looking for. If you configured correctly, you will find options below.

But this is limited to understanding your repo allow you to customize the repo url with file, line and range parameter. It does not understand the library you imported in your repo unless you vendor them (make those as part of your repo). But standard lib is always out of reach because it can not be vendored.

I think what they mean is: If I open a file from the module cache (for example by using "Go to definition" on an imported type), I want a "Copy link to file" menu option that links to the online repository for that package. I don't think GitLens can solve this because the module cache files aren't git repositories.

@YesYouKenSpace If I'm correct this would be tricky to handle in the general case. Obviously if the module starts with github.com it's not that hard to determine a browsable URL for that file. However supporting other providers would require a go-get query for each module and that only works if the provider includes a go-source meta tag.
