arXiv2git

Links the arXiv to github repos. Implemented as a chrome extension, currently in alpha-status:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/arXiv2git

Why?

• It's hard to search for papers like "t \bar{t} W production and decay at NLO".
• Some papers have a lot of links Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition and it may be hard to find all of them.
• It builds a database of links for other uses

What?

Citations (links to github) are automatically added (via a Chrome extension) directly to the arXiv site.
