    Visual Studio != Visual Studio code

    According to the docs[0], you need to log in to Github in order to share a port. Can anyone explain why this would be necessary? I understand it if the port is set up as private (as explained in the doc), but not if it's set up as public. Is the traffic being routed through h Github? 0: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/port-forwarding

    This has been possible in live share since the beginning. I guess now they’ve just made it built-in and a standalone thing.

    "Port forwarding" is a misleading name for this. "Proxy through Azure tunnel" seems more appropriate.
