GitHub Permalink Expansion v1.0.0~

When you expand a GitHub permalink pinned to a commit SHA, babyrite expands the linked file's content directly as a syntax-highlighted code block.

This feature is gated by a feature flag

To use it, you need to enable the corresponding key under [features] in config.toml.

[features]
github_permalink = true

You can copy a permalink with the following steps.

1. Open the source code on GitHub
2. Select the starting line
3. Hold Shift and select the ending line
4. Click Copy permalink

• Expands up to 3 links per message.
• Duplicate URLs are ignored.

Supported patterns

The permalink patterns babyrite supports are:

https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/{ref}/{path}
https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/{ref}/{path}#L{line}
https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/{ref}/{path}#L{start}-L{end}

• {ref} supports the following formats.
  • A commit SHA (4 to 40 hex digits)
  • A branch name (e.g. main or feat/add-github)
  • A tag name (e.g. release-v1.0, v2.9.0)
• Query strings are discarded.

Content fetch limits

Content is fetched from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.

If the response size (Content-Length) exceeds 1MB (1_048_576 bytes), the fetch is aborted and an error is returned.

Canceling a preview

If you don't want a link previewed, wrap it in <> and it will be ignored.
