Goto GoDoc Extension

Goto GoDoc allows you to show the documentation of a currently opened repository of a Go package.

Most Go packages contain documentation. If a package provides a public source code repository, e.g. on GitHub, BitBucket, Launchpad, Google Code, or even self-hosted, the documentation contained within the package (including subpackages) can be viewed online on pkg.go.dev. If you're on the website of a Go package's source code repository, then you can open this documentation with a single click. If you attempt to open Go package documentation for a website that doesn't host one, you will be redirected to the search function on pkg.go.dev.

roger peppe (ID: 0000002b57a772e3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2013 This is just great - I use it all the time. There's only one minor gripe that I have (not enough for it to lose a star), which is that the new tab does not appear next to the current tab, but at the far right, which means I can lose context.
