Always display code view in GitHub
Fixes https://github.com/tonchis/vim-to-github/issues/16!
This PR adds ?plain=1 to the URLs so that GitHub always opens in the code view. This is helpful when working in markdown, for example, because GitHub would simply display the HTML-rendered markdown otherwise.
From https://github.com/tonchis/vim-to-github/issues/16:
When viewing a markdown file, if I run
:ToGithub, I get a URL like:However, this link brings up the HTML representation of the markdown file, not the lines of code:
To always make the permalink open the lines of code, we want to add
?plain=1to the URL, like so:This is the same as clicking the Code button without
?plain=1, and?plain=1also enables the "code" mode:
This also works well on files that don't have any "viewer" in github that would default to the "code" view. Plus, it's more explicit, which I think is a good thing. Here's an example:
And here's the link directly placed in the issue, where you can still see that the snippet is displayed:

We should add
?plain=1for all generated links! This will make the links always go to lines of code, no matter what :ok_hand:
