Show HN: Chrome extension to navigate dependencies in Node.js projects on Github

• lxe 12y ago
  This is a simple chrome extension for navigating Node.js dependencies in Github. Clicking on node require()s takes you to their Github project page, a relative file, or a Node.js API documentation page. Uses ghub.io for all npm packages, and Node docs for the native modules. I hope you find it useful!

  I've been using something similar for a while: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-linker/jlmafbaeoofdegohdhinkhilhclaklkp https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-linker/jlma... Pro tip: Add an 'npm' shortcut to your chrome address bar. Link it to http://ghub.io/%s http://ghub.io/%s and 'npm <packagename>' will take you directly to the repo. You can also do this in the shell with 'npm repo <packagename>'

    Oh nice! I had no idea this problem was already solved. I'm using ghub.io in the background as well. Also it seems that I learn a new `npm` CLI command every few days!

      same with `npm home <pkg name>`

  Similar extension for Ruby gems: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crank-for-rubygems/aeekfpaigbeblmpeliiomcamnipcglii https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crank-for-rubygems...
