Command list

No keymaps are currently set by default.

I recommended you configure your own keybindings and use what is comfortable for you. You can do this by going to Settings > Keybindings or open it from the Command Pallete using Application: Open Your Keymap.

Command List Description
git-link:copy-link-to-line Copy a link to the current line
git-link:copy-link-to-selection Copy a link to the current selection
git-link:copy-link-to-file Copy a link to the current file
git-link:copy-link-to-repository Copy a link to the current repository
git-link:open-line-in-browser Open the current line in browser
git-link:open-selection-in-browser Open the current selection in browser

git-link:edit-line-in-browser Edit current line in browser
git-link:edit-selection-in-browser Edit current selection in browser
git-link:edit-file-in-browser Edit current file in browser

Tips

Personally, I got the most value out of this by:

  • keybinding the git-link:copy-link-to-selection command,
  • leaning on the default behaviour of opening the link on double copy
  • Which means I'm able to copy a link of the current line, a selection or choose to open it in the browser all with one keybind.

Permalinks are possible only if changes are available remotely (changes have been pushed).
