# I made a VSCode extension to help manage Tech Debt from in your IDE

**[Dev Tools](https://daily.dev/sources/devtools)** · [@liamgulliver](https://daily.dev/liamgulliver) · 1 min read · 21 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

A developer created a VSCode extension to streamline technical debt management by allowing users to create GitHub issues directly from their IDE without switching between applications. The extension automates the process of raising issues with proper labels and formatting, addressing the common workflow friction of managing tech debt across multiple tools.

There's every possibility only I might find this useful, and really this extension was written for my benefit because largely, I'm lazy and can't be bothered switching between GitHub and VS Code to raise issues for tech debt, with the right labels, etc, etc.

So I made this https://github.com/lgulliver/tech-debt-vscode.

I've got a bunch of other features I want to add to it as listed in the readme, but feel free to give it a download and playaround. Missing something you think would be useful? Open a PR!
