The notes will be stored by default in the file code-review.csv on the top level of your project. When you click this menu, a view opens to the right side with a form where you can enter your notes.

Once installed, it will add a new menu option called 'Code Review: Add Note' when being on an active file. You can simply install the extension via the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. The result is my extensions vscode-code-review.

In the end I decided: let's take the scepter and develop an extension by myself that will satisfy my and probably also your needs. As I am used to work with Visual Studio Code, I thought to search for some appropriate extensions but I wasn't successful. So I was looking for a way to easily create code reviews that can be exported and delivered to the customer without copying file and line references manually. But in the end all my comments would be part of the code and probably never cleaned up. In the end, everything was landing in a good old Excel sheet which isn't leading in a good-looking report.Īnother way to create a review would be to add code comments and create a pull/merge request at customers site. When I was working on a review I had always to copy the file and line references my comments were related to - which can be quite exhausting. But it can happen also that I will just receive a *.zip file containing all the source code. Sometimes I will get access to their git repository but mostly with very limited permissions (read access). It my job it happens from time to time that customers asking me about doing an expert review by checking their source code.
