@file-style tagging && auto-linking for GitHub

@file demo - type @/filename in GitHub comments to autocomplete file references

the problem

you're mid-PR review. you want to reference a file. here's your current workflow:

before

  1. open new tab
  2. search for file
  3. navigate to it
  4. copy url
  5. go back to comment
  6. paste & format

with @file

  • type @/filename
  • boom.
  • autocomplete
  • boom.
  • hit tab
  • boom.

why this exists

this should be a native GitHub feature, Microsoft... c'mon now!
