One of the features of GitHub I use quite often is the ability to right-click any line number to create a link to that specific file on the exact line. It can eb useful when submitting issues or when providing a link to a piece of sample code.

While not so easy to find in VsTeam, the feature is there. To link to a specific line in the code hub first navigate to the file you want to link to, then copy the current location from the browser and append &line={number}.

That’s all!
