A way to share bookmarks

[mbalaji-atlas]

I find labeled bookmarks to be a nice way to guide a user through the codebase. Why not docs? Because this way user does not leave from codebase while following steps to do "something" (less context switching). So problem I face is how to transfer bookmarks from my vscode to my teammates vscode ? (in same version controlled project ofc)

Though the main problem to solve is this (considering this is a problem worth solving), there would be bunch of solutions that can solve this problem. But the most simplest one to start with (I assume) would be a way to import/export bookmarks from a project.

APIs:

• Export bookmarks to a json file
• Import bookmarks from json file
  • throw error if cannot find the particular files or lines of bookmark in the current project

Hi @mbalaji-atlas ,

If you want to share bookmarks between your teammates, you could simply use bookmarks.saveBookmarksInProject setting as true, and the extension will store the bookmarks within the project, in .vscode/bookmarks.json file. Doing so, every time someone pulls the repo, the bookmarks will be there.

Right now, there is no export/import feature, only an open issue asking for it.

BTW, if you want guidance on your codebase, following steps to do something, maybe you should take a look at the CodeTour extension. It is a great extension too.

Hope this helps
