Building Links and Adding Services

git-link-remote-alist maps remotes' hostnames to a function capable of creating a URL on that host. To add (or modify) how URLs are created for a given host add the appropriate function object to this list.

The function's signature is:

HOSTNAME DIRNAME FILENAME BRANCH COMMIT START END

• HOSTNAME hostname of the remote
• DIRNAME directory portion of the remote
• FILENAME source file, relative to DIRNAME
• BRANCH active branch, may be nil if the repo's in "detached HEAD" state
• COMMIT SHA of the latest commit
• START starting line number
• END ending line number, nil unless region is active
