Ever wanted to share a link to a specific line in a deploy log? Now you can!
When you visit a deploy for a Netlify site, you’ll find new line numbers to the left of each line in the deploy log. You can select a line number to highlight the line, or press Shift and select a range of lines.
The resulting URL is shareable, so you can point your teammates directly to a relevant process or error in the log!
To deselect highlighted lines, press Esc.
As @cassidoo says:
Wow, that was so easy, almost as easy as… Lincoln Logs.
To learn more about sharing log content, check out the docs.
Since we deploy Netlify on Netlify, I’ve been using this feature daily! It’s especially helpful when I hit a build error that I want to share with a teammate for debugging help.

Hopefully this will help with folks requesting support for public-repo sites too
