Breadcrumbs with links to parent directory

Open d13r opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

When viewing the Markdown files on GitHub, you can see breadcrumbs showing where you are, which also allows you to jump up to a parent directory:

It would be very useful to be able to do this in Grip too, as I'm using readme files in each directory as a table of contents.

I don't have any plans to add this functionality specifically in the near future.

Closing this as out-of-scope. If you're interested in implementing it, feel free to a pull request though. I'll add it in as a nice-to-have, but as an opt-in CLI option instead of by default. I'm under the impression that the most common usage is to render one page at a time though. And for those who click through to other pages, those page usually link back.

As for any others that find their way here, if my impression is wrong, please post a :thumbsup: for some visibility from the community.

Thank you for the suggestions, @davejamesmiller.

I'm attempting to use grip to preview wiki edits locally before commit. It's probably a bad habit of mine but I tend to create sub-pages on an as-needed basis. My use case is to preview these sub pages before linking them to a sidebar or main content page.

Re-opening this as an enhancement to think about it. This may get merged into #134 or vice versa.

Anybody have any thoughts on what would be the simplest approach but the biggest impact to navigating Readmes? GitHub does this already. It might be a good one to have either way, and may even supercede the need for a complicated full-blown nav. Especially if the Readmes contain the downward links, since these breadcrumbs will contain link to go back up.
