An Rstudio addin to create shareable github perma links.

For instance this perma link: https://github.com/joeDespres/perma/blob/9b62543054ab4e1c9e6ea60da69458c3cdcb973e/tests/testthat/test-link-creation.R#L3-L5. Will take you directly to line 3-5 of a test file. I find it to be a great way to refer a collaborator to specific code snippets in a repo.

Inspired by gitlinker

devtools::install_github("joeDespres/perma")

✅ Create github perma link at cursor: perma_link_to_console
✅ Open github at cursor or selection: perma_open_perma_link
✅ Move cursor to perma link: perma_move_to_link

Recommended key bindings

~/.config/rstudio/keybindings/addins.json
{
    "perma::perma_link_to_console": "Ctrl+`",
    "perma::perma_move_to_link": "Ctrl+T",
    "perma::perma_open_perma_link": "Ctrl+G"
}

Note this is a work in progress so this is lacking quite a bit of polish.
