Copy PR as a dependency git URL #2552

dominykas posted onGitHub

At the moment, GitHub already provides a copy button to copy the branch name of the PR.

It would be awesome, if there was also a button to copy the full git URL for that branch, so that it can be used in package.json, e.g. for the new-feature branch in this repo, it would copy git+https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github.git#new-feature into clipboard.

npm does support GitHub shorthands (e.g. sindresorhus/refined-github#new-feature), but that's not very useful for those on GitHub Enterprise.

This feature request is too specific to a language and workflow.

The closest you can get is https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/963, which will restore the button to copy the git URL:

git+https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github.git

and then you can click to copy the branch name with the other copy button in the header

Do other package managers not offer ways to install from git? Could the feature be adapted to work for them as well, assuming they use a different format?

I think those 2 clicks would have to suffice
