README.md
Original
GitLink
A Jetbrains plugin providing shortcuts to open or copy a file, directory or commit in GitHub, Bitbucket,
Codeberg, GitLab, Gitee, Gitea, Forgejo, Gogs, Azure, sourcehut, and Gerrit. Custom platforms can also be configured using the URL template syntax.
Usage
Install the plugin and configure your platform if it hasn't been auto-detected already:
Preferences → Tools → GitLink
Make sure you have registered your projects root under the version control preferences:
Preferences → Version Control (see unregistered roots)
The actions live under the Git menu and in the editor, project view and editor tab context menus:
Git → Open in (your selected platform)
Git → Copy (your selected platform) link
Git → Copy (your selected platform) Markdown link
The current file can also be opened from the select-in popup:
Select in... → (your selected platform)
Additional shortcuts are available from the editor gutter, the annotation gutter and the Git log window.
A URL can be generated in one of the following ways:
- File at a commit
- File at a branch
- Commit
By default, when generating a URL to a file, the latest commit hash is used, creating a reference to a fixed version of the file's content. If the latest commit has not been pushed to the remote, the current branch is used instead. While this avoids generating a URL to a 404, it does mean the linked contents can change over time.
Installation
Using IDE built-in plugin system:
Settings/Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace > Search for "GitLink" > Install Plugin
Manually:
Download the latest release and install it manually using Settings/Preferences > Plugins > ⚙️ > Install plugin from disk...
