• I'm the package's author and/or maintainer.
• I have have read the docs.
• I have tagged a release with a semver version number.
• My package repo has a description and a README describing what it's for and how to use it.
• My package doesn't add context menu entries. *
• My package doesn't add key bindings. **
• Any commands are available via the command palette.
• Preferences and keybindings (if any) are listed in the menu and the command palette, and open in split view.
• If my package is a syntax it doesn't also add a color scheme. ***
• If my package is a syntax it is named after the language it supports (without suffixes like "syntax" or "highlighting").
• I use .gitattributes to exclude files from the package: images, test files, sublime-project/workspace.

Would it make sense to add “open this file on remote”? I use that all the time via GitSavvy. There is also https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitLink, I’d think that maybe there is something to be gained by integrating your work into that package?

I wasn't aware of the GitSavvy command. Probably because it is prefixed with "github:" in the Command Palette instead of GitSavvy. Very useful to know though. I've suggested adding "GitSavvy" to all those commands for discoverability.

GitLink is similar to git-open. One difference is that GitLink doesn't have a dependency on an external program, but then it's looking for a maintainer. GitOpen doesn't intend to handle any of the implementation details but will simply remain a wrapper around the external tool. I wouldn't be interested in maintaining something like GitLink.

I've been using git-open on the terminal since forever and have had this plugin in my local sublimefiles since forever too.

My bash alias: alias o='git-open'.
My neovintageousrc: nnoremap <leader>o :GitOpen<CR>

I might try changing that last one to github: open this file on remote.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense, I didn't see that you we're simply wrapping git-open, that's smart.
