Description of the new feature

not sure if this has been mentioned before, but it would be useful if ms terminal could use/take advantage of the github tunnels feature that vscode has, so one could just get into a machine for some commands/analysis without having to start the vscode app.

Proposed technical implementation details

Thanks for the request!

It would be better if GitHub offered a CLI application that gave access to tunnels! Then, it could be used from Windows Terminal, the old Windows Console, WezTerm, Alacritty, Kitty, ConEmu and more.

I'd rather not bundle more1 service-specific connection types in with Terminal today.


  1. Azure Cloud Shell is the one we have, and we need to pull it out as a plugin anyway. :) ↩︎
