CodeTour is a Visual Studio Code extension for recording and playing back guided, step-by-step walkthroughs of codebases directly in the editor. Tours consist of annotated file/line steps that can be checked into a repo or exported for sharing.
Use cases
- onboard new developers to a codebase
- create guided walkthroughs of a repository
- explain the context of a PR or code review
- visualize bug reports with annotated code steps
- share codebase knowledge without a CONTRIBUTING.md
- replay tours without cloning the repo
When to choose
- you use VS Code and want interactive, in-editor code walkthroughs
- you need to onboard contributors to a large or unfamiliar codebase
- you want tour files checked into the repo or exported for sharing
When to avoid
- you don't use VS Code or a compatible editor
- you need standalone video or web-based documentation rather than editor-embedded tours
