😎 What does it do?

This is a very useful tool for documentation sites where you'd like your readers to point out updates easily. Add an "Edit on Github" link to your pages that will directly open the github editor for your source files!

🏃 Usage

Simply add this shortcode in your templates where you would like the link to appear.

`
{% gh_edit page %}
`

⚙️ Configuration

This plugin has one required parameter github_edit_repo, which should be the link to your github repository. If files are not at the root, you can also add the github_edit_path parameter.

Add to your Eleventy config file:

`js
const editOnGithub = require('eleventy-plugin-edit-on-github');

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(editOnGithub, {
// required
github_edit_repo: 'https://github.com/christopherpickering/going-bg',
// optional: defaults
github_edit_path: undefined, // non-root location in git url. root is assumed
github_edit_branch: 'master',
github_edit_text: 'Edit on Github', // html accepted, or javascript function: (page) => { return page.inputPath}
github_edit_class: 'edit-on-github',
github_edit_tag: 'a',
github_edit_attributes: 'target="_blank" rel="noopener"',
github_edit_wrapper: undefined, //ex: "

"
});
};
