Description
Create an extension so that when one uses it it creates a permanent link from github from Rstudio.
This should help referencing links from rstudio instead of going to github, opening branch, find file and line left click to copy and post it on the document you want to share.
Steps:
1. Check latest github version
2. Check local version matches
3. Find cursor point
4. Create link

Research direction
Start by clarifying how the RStudio extension should check the latest GitHub version against the local version and identify the cursor location. Then map the process for creating a permanent GitHub link from RStudio; done means the extension produces a shareable link for the selected location without manually opening GitHub. No files or tests are named in the issue.
