A stack trace pasted into a chat window is painful: it is long, it wraps badly, and nobody can reference a specific line. Sharing the log as a link keeps it readable and lets whoever is debugging jump straight to the relevant line.
Turn the log into a link
- Copy the full error or stack trace from your terminal or log file.
- Paste it into the code share tool and click Create share link.
- Share the link in your ticket, chat, or pull request.
The result is a line-numbered view with a raw endpoint, so a teammate can even curl the log straight into their own tools.
Before you share, redact secrets
Logs often contain more than you think — connection strings, tokens, file paths, or user emails. Strip anything sensitive first, the same way you would share a config file safely. A shared link is reachable by anyone who has it.
Pair it with a screenshot
Sometimes the error on screen matters as much as the log. Grab a screenshot link of the UI and a code link for the trace, and drop both into the bug report. Everything is free and needs no account.
