Jump between code and tests when reviewing code in Github.When reviewing code in github, it's sometimes hard to match unit tests with the code that they are testing.

To help that process, this extension links those two together. It matches these files by name, and adds simple links that allow you to jump back and forth between them.
This way you can see more easily if the tests are doing what they should and if the code is well tested.

The name matching works based on pairs of regular expressions:

- The first expression matches the "code" files. That is, the files being tested. Capture groups in this expression will be used in the second one.
- The second expression tries to find matching test files. It uses the captured matches from the first one to find test files with a name that corresponds to the "code" file.

These pairs of expressions can be managed in the options window.
The regular expressions use the javascript syntax. Most notably, the capture groups are referenced by $1, $2, etc.

The extension comes pre-configured with a simple example expression matching C# files.
Feel free to use it, either as inspiration or for actual work.

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
Enjoy!
