Tweet Code

Share code snippets directly to Twitter/X from VS Code.

Features

  • Share selected code with a right-click
  • Preview and edit tweets before posting
  • Dark mode support
  • Character count validation
  • Secure credential management

Prerequisites

You need an X (formerly Twitter) developer account and OAuth 1.0 credentials to use this extension (docs)

  1. Create a developer account
  2. Create an app
  3. Generate consumer keys and access tokens

Setup

  1. Install the extension from the VS Code marketplace (almost there!)
  2. Right-click on any code selection and choose "Tweet Selection"
  3. Click "Disconnected" to create a .twitter-credentials file
  4. Add your X API credentials to the file:
{
	"consumerKey": "your-consumer-key",
	"consumerSecret": "your-consumer-secret",
	"accessToken": "your-access-token",
	"accessSecret": "your-access-secret"
}

Alternative: Clone this repository and run the following commands:

  1. cd tweet-code
  2. bun install
  3. chmod +x scripts/publish-local.sh
  4. ./scripts/publish-local.sh

Usage

  1. Select code in your editor
  2. Right-click and choose "Tweet Selection"
  3. Edit your tweet if needed
  4. Click "Post Tweet"

Alternative: Use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P) and search for "Tweet Code: Share"

Security Note

Your X credentials are stored locally in your workspace. Never commit the .twitter-credentials file to version control.
