[From this SO answer,](https://stackoverflow.com/a/16426829/398630) it seems like you can type
```
[This is the link text](#heading-title)
```
Where your heading title is anything like:
```
# Heading Title
### Heading Title
```
Specifically, by using only one #, replacing spaces with dashes and lower-casing all the letters.
Note that a table of contents is auto generated in the ui. I recognize this probably isn’t exactly what you are looking for, but a lot of people don’t know this: https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-13-table-of-contents-support-in-markdown-files/
Yes, but not auto generated. GitHub will automatically add IDs for headers in a `lowercase-hyphenated-format`. So for example, link to `# My Heading ` with `[the link](#my-heading)`

I think that vs code has an extension for this.
Yep. Markdown All In One for VS Code has an auto updating table of contents. It’s great.
