Open gist in GitHub in file toolbar

Open majkinetor opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I need to checkout how the gist looks like on GitHub for the gist that I am currently working on in editor, I need to search for it again in GistPad, if gists are not sorted by update time (if not changing gists but just opened few of them, sort is irrelevant).

Describe the solution you'd like File is already open in the editor, why not having Open Gist icon in file toolbar image

Describe alternatives you've considered Setting gistpad.openRepositoryFileInBrowser hotkey but that is not ideal as operation is not so important to hijack hotkey.

+1, thanks for the great extension.

I think the following are also related: https://github.com/lostintangent/gistpad/issues/331 https://github.com/lostintangent/gistpad/issues/64

With this feature, it would not only be useful for checking on the web, but also for updating descriptions of previously created gists, adding and deleting files.

I've created about 700 gists, and for those that have become old and hard to find in the sidebar, I'm currently update with the following steps:

  1. Search for the gist in Open Gist
  2. Choose Copy GitHub URL from the file tab
  3. Paste it into the address bar, remove after /raw/ , and access
  4. Update the description and files

As an alternative, it would be convenient if the related Gist in the GistPad sidebar is focused in conjunction with Open Gist. (Because you can select Change Description and View Gist in GitHub from right-click)
