Modifies pasted GitHub links to use short GitHub ref text as the link title.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

This is a very simple Obsidian plugin which captures pasted text and sets the link title to a shortened GitHub ref text if it detects it's a link to a GitHub repo, issue, pull request, etc.

Example:

  • https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition/pull/1 → [EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition#1](https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition/pull/1)

  • GitHub Link offers a different mechanism to enrich GitHub links, dynamically fetching info when you view a page and rendering a nice badge
  • JIRA links shortener does the same thing but for JIRA issue URLs
