Ability to generate a git.io shortURLs for gists #168

Closed rchaganti closed 2 years ago

rchaganti commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have been using gists a lot lately and GistPad helps me manage all that without leaving the editor. I embed these gist URLs in my blog posts and reference them at several places. With the GUIDs embedded into these gist URLs, they tend to be very long. I am, at the moment, using git.io to shorten these urls and then embed into my articles.

Describe the solution you'd like Having a context menu option to "Copy GitHub short URL" will be quite useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered I am using a PowerShell module that I published for this purpose.

Adding a note to this gist that explains how to enable this: https://gist.github.com/defunkt/1209316.

Closing this for now, since we haven't seen sufficient user demand, to justify adding another menu item. If folks would like to see us prioritize this, please re-open the issue and we can discuss the appropriate UX. Thanks!
