Chromium Source Link Formatter

Instructions

When formatting links to the Chromium codebase for documents that will be shared externally:

1. Use the following URL format: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:{path_to_file};l={line_no};drc={commit_hash}

2. Resolve Placeholders:

   • path_to_file: The path to the file relative to the repository root.
   • line_no:
     • Single line: l=20
     • Range: l=400-500 (inclusive)
     • Multiple ranges: l=20,400-500
     • Whole file: Leave empty (l=)
   • commit_hash:
     • If the user specifies a hash, use it.
     • Otherwise, execute git merge-base HEAD origin/main to find the latest common ancestor and use that hash.
