⚓ Get links to code in your GitHub files based on text, and forget the line numbers!

Get links for your GitHub files based on text, and forget the line numbers!

All Contributors

Why GitHub Link?

In Short

We usually create link-to-code to point our readers, users or developers to the exact code. But such links are created based on line-number and if you're updating the file regularly, those links will not point to correct line or you will need to keep updating your links. GitHub Link helps you to get the right link-to-code, based on text you give, so that it always points to contextually right definition. Jump to usage

In Long

We generally create permanent link to code snippet. As they are for specific commit, they work great when referred in issues/PRs.

But what if you want to give such links in your README or such files? Like you have already defined a coded file with proper comments and you want to give link to…

It has been one month since I've released my book Building Your Mouseless Development Environment which explains how to install Arch Linux, i3, Zsh, Neovim, and tmux.

... and I've reached 300 buyers today! Even crazier: nobody asked for a refund, and all feedback were super positive. This is a huge, massive, crazy win for me 🥰

At work (relatively new job, 3 months in) I set up a live environment for a customer. My first time doing that. But what I am most proud of is 'cleaning up' the git repo all by myself before I deployed the master branch to live. I merged everything into develop and merged that into master. Up untill last week I really felt like I would never really understand Git and all this abstract stuff (where is it going when I push? And other questions), but now.. it seems like I do 🤗🥳
