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	Copies a link to the current line
git-link:copy-link-to-selection	Copies a link to the current selection
git-link:copy-link-to-file	Copies a link to the current file
git-link:open-line-in-browser	Opens the link to the current line in browser
git-link:open-selection-in-browser	Opens the link to the current selection in browser
git-link:open-file-in-browser	Opens the link to the current file in browser

git-link:edit-selection-in-browser	Opens edit link to the current selection in browser
git-link:edit-file-in-browser	Opens edit link to the 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).
