GitHub Copy Extension

GitHub Copy allows you to copy file paths and branch names to your clipboard just by clicking on them. Once you click on a file path or branch name, you will be notified that it has been copied to your system clipboard. This extension makes trivial to jump right into the file you need. You don't have to fumble with selecting text or triple clicking the line to highlight it's entirety, nor do you have to press the keyboard shortcut for copy on your system. All you have to do is click and paste.

Steven Hirlston (ID: 000000ae6280a1ff) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/30/2014 If you're a developer and you ever find yourself highlighting and copying file paths or branch names in Github, stop doing that and get this extension. It copies them with a click. It's super easy and unobtrusive, the way a helper application should be.
