✨ OctoLinker successor for GitHub's new code view

Clickable imports
on GitHub

One click on any import opens the npm or PyPI page. Works on file views, pull request diffs and blame — including after SPA navigation.

What it does

⚡

Instant & offline

All resolution is local — no network requests, no registry calls. A 2,000-line file links within 1 second of rendering.

📦

JS, TS & Python

import, require(), export from, and Python import / from x import. Node built-ins link to Node.js docs.

📄

Manifest files

Every dependency in package.json, requirements.txt and pyproject.toml becomes a clickable link.

🔄

SPA-aware

Works after GitHub's Turbo/React navigation and on virtualised PR diffs — links appear as new lines mount, debounced with no jank.

🧠

Smart renames

yaml → PyYAML, cv2 → opencv-python, PIL → Pillow, sklearn → scikit-learn, and more.

🎨

Invisible by default

Code looks exactly the same — no colour change, no layout shift. A subtle underline appears only on hover.
