Summary

This is a demonstration of using the Caret command API to open GitHub source code into a new Caret tab. You will need Caret 1.2.25 or higher to use this extension. Once added to Chrome, it will add a page action icon to any github.com pages that qualify--click the icon to send the raw source over to your open editor window.

GH2Caret also displays a Magic 8-ball prediction on the status bar in Caret once a minute. This serves no useful purpose, it's just a fun extra while I was messing with the command APIs, to demonstrate how easy it is for other applications to show messages through the Caret UI.

The source for this extension is available on GitHub at the website link to the right.

What do you do with the code, and where is it interpreted, and why isn't it giving any errors when I make ERRORS. Then, this app is an ERROR to use.
