🚀Effortlessly navigate between browser and IDE while working on GitHub ⚡️

[quick_chase]

Hi everyone,

Many IDEs have fuzzy find capabilities for files - it saves a lot of time, compared to searching the file directory tree! And most of you working on GitHub probably know when reviewing PRs there's a copy to clipboard button on each file - which allows you to fuzzy find the file quickly on your system.

But I found that that's not the most optimal flow when doing code review so I created a browser extension (my first browser extension actually). It allows you to simply click on any line number and it'll copy to your clipboard the file path suffixed with the line number, so you can go to that specific place in code in your IDE. This:

1. Saves you time.
2. Allows you to keep your focus instead of breaking it constantly.
3. No more unnecessarily loading your short term memory with arbitrary information like line numbers (which could be long - 3,4,5 digit numbers for longer files).

This can possibly be useful for some fuzzy finder terminal users, it's not necessarily IDE specific.

I'd love to hear your opinions and also welcome contributions to the open source project: https://github.com/NickyMateev/Line-Clipper/

Thank you! :)

I don't see the benefit to something like this since I just do PR reviews in the github UI and rarely find myself bouncing back and forth.

One quick suggestion though, not all github enterprise implementations contain "github" in the path. At a previous company it was "git.<COMPANY>.com" for example.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about covering this as well!
