Github Bookmarklet

OK, this should really be called the GitHub Search Bookmarklet, but that takes a handy tool and turns it into a mouthful.

What is it?

A handy little piece of JavaScript that you can save as a bookmark in your browser, and instantly search GitHub.

I built it to satisfy my need to search GitHub Quickly.

Install

  1. Go to my announcement blog post here: douglasfshearer.com/blog/announcing-github-bookmarklet
  2. Follow the install instructions.

Usage

When you click on the bookmarklet, it’ll give you a text prompt. Type in your search term, and hit return. You’ll be taken to the GitHub search page for your query.

Hitting ESC or Cancel leaves your browser in it’s previous state.

Acknowledgements

  • John Gruber for his bookmarklet formatting script: daringfireball.net/2007/03/javascript_bookmarklet_builder
  • The GitHub team for, well, Github: github.com
