Copy Link to Github from vscode

I want to copy a link to github.com from the file/line I have open in vscode.

I found a way to copy a vscode.dev link.

You could modify that link by hand:

https://vscode.dev/github/examplecom/myproject/blob/main/mydir/myfile.go#L91-L98

to:

https://github.com/examplecom/myproject/blob/main/mydir/myfile.go#L91-L98

... but that is not convenient.

How to copy a link to github.com directly?

BTW, "GitLens" is not an answer. I uninstalled that plugin because it constantly wants you to sell something.

If you have the GitHub PR extension installed, I'm pretty sure it contributes items to the gutter context menu for this. At least, github.dev has that extension installed if I recall correctly, and it has this feature.

I'm pretty sure getting this without extensions would be difficult. The best idea I can think of right now is binding a keyboard shortcut that inserts a snippet, and using runCommands to then cut that inserted snippet. And the part I can't complete for that is how to get the user and repo name without hardcoding.
