GitHubinator*

*With regards to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

This will allow you to select text in a Sublime Text file, and see the highlighted lines on GitHub's remote repo, if one exists.

Installation

If you use Package Control, just install it from there. If not:

Clone this repo to your Sublime Text Packages folder (ST3 example shown below):

cd ~/"Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/"
git clone https://github.com/ehamiter/GitHubinator.git

The plugin should be picked up automatically. If not, restart Sublime Text.

Configuration

The defaults should work for most setups, but if you have a different remote name or use GitHub Enterprise, you can configure remote and host in the Githubinator.sublime-settings file:

{
  "default_remote": "origin",
  "default_host": "github.com"
}

To change the branch name, edit Default.sublime-commands.

For example, to change the branch name from master to main, edit the following as such:

From:

  {
    "caption": "GitHubinator Blame on Master",
    "command": "githubinator",
    "args": { "permalink": false, "mode": "blame", "branch": "master" }
  },

To:

  {
    "caption": "GitHubinator Blame on Main",
    "command": "githubinator",
    "args": { "permalink": false, "mode": "blame", "branch": "main" }
  },

Usage

Select some text. Activate the context menu and select "GitHubinator" or by keypress (⌘\ by default, configurable in .sublime-keymap file).
