About this extension

This extension adds direct links in the GitHub source code viewer, to any imported modules or files. If you're browsing source code on GitHub this extension will improve your life.

Languages and files supported:

* Python
* PHP
* Nim
* Dart (.dart and pubspec.yaml)
* Rust (.rs files and Cargo.toml)
* Javascript (.js, .jsx, .coffee, .ts, package.json files)
* Ruby (.rb files, Rakefile and Gemfile)
* Crystal (.cr and shard.yml files)
* Julia
* Go
* Haskell (external packages listed on stack.yaml files)
* Elm (dependencies on elm-package.json)
* C

Unlike Octolinker, this extension creates real links, so there are no problems with middle-clicks, Ctrl-clicks etc.

Also, links load without reloading the page, so ultra-fast (like normal GitHub links).

Developer comments

This extension makes calls to the GitHub API when it is necessary to know something about the files structure of the repository being browsed, also makes calls to services under the extension developer's control that translate an external module name in many languages/package managers to a canonical URL or GitHub repository URL.

Besides that, the extension knows something about the directory structure of each language project thus can deduce where are each relative module, standard library module or external package.
