## What it is
OctoLinker is a browser extension for GitHub that turns language-specific import statements like require, include, and import into clickable links to files or package repositories. It ran for nine years but is no longer functional due to GitHub platform changes.

## Use cases
- navigate github repositories faster by clicking imports
- jump from require statements to package repos
- make package.json dependencies clickable on github
- explore module imports in source code on github
- link include statements to their files

## When to choose
- you want a github code-navigation extension and it becomes functional again
- you need clickable dependency links while browsing github

## When to avoid
- you need a currently working tool - it is no longer functional due to GitHub changes
- you need code navigation outside github

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: browser-extension, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: browser, browser-extension
- tags: github, code-navigation, dependency-links, import-statements, chrome-extension, firefox-extension
