Extension for Visual Studio Code - Send messages and files to Slack from Visual Studio Code. Slack’s built-in code snippets offer basic support for sharing code but apps like Cacher offer improved versions, while Github offers an array of options. Sober is another app for Slack and calls up code from your Github files in Slack directly. Was this tip useful?
