That video is from January when I opened a pull request to enable source link using SourceLink 2 tools. 5 years ago, I actually opened a pull request to enable source link using SourceLink 1. The pull request that I assisted James with is using the new Microsoft.SourceLink 1 beta tools.
Microsoft.SourceLink
SourceLink joined the .NET Foundation in November and now has a new home at https://github.com/dotnet/sourcelink/. New tools are shipped in the NuGet Gallery as Microsoft.SourceLink.* 1.0.0-beta*. They currently work on Windows and Ubuntu, but will soon support the rest.Most of the SourceLink 2 tools are made obsolete by the .NET SDK 2.1 and Microsoft.SourceLink tools. My repository will still continue to fill in gaps in tooling. SourceLink 3 tools will be tools that build on top of the .NET SDK 2.1.
dotnet tool install --global sourcelink
The first and only tool for SourceLink 3.0 tools is a sourcelink command-line tool for testing for source link support.

You can print the json:

You can test downloading all the source files for every document in the pdb:
test-pdb.txt loading ...
You can test every pdb in a nupkg:

How to enable source link for your library
Follow the instructions in the readme. I think the simplest solution that will work for many projects is to add a Directory.Build.props in your source directory that looks like this:
