• file names are linked to files
• commit messages are linked to the commits
• commit authors are linked to their list of commits
• PR numbers are linked to the PR

In a properly-configured terminal, this means that you can click on filenames to open them in your preferred editor, or click on a PR number in a commit status to go straight to that PR in your browser.

installing

• on a mac: brew install llimllib/git-ls/git-ls
• everywhere else: download the latest release for your platform
  • Put git-ls anywhere on your path, and you can then call it as git ls
