OctoLinker – Links together, what belongs together.

What is OctoLinker?

OctoLinker is a Chrome extension designed to supercharge project navigation on GitHub. It transforms language-specific statements like include, require or import into clickable links. It also links to dependencies defined in files like package.json, composer.json, Gemfile, or requirements.txt with their corresponding GitHub project pages. Moreover, it provides direct links to API docs such as Node.js, Python, Rubygems, and more. OctoLinker also makes code review easier by linking dependencies and referenced files in pull requests, allowing reviewers to focus on the code.
