# ClipLinks
[](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cliplinks/eighjjglgpdklpmghphnapidhlciflbm)
[](LICENSE)
Tired of hunting for your social media profile URLs or personal website links every time you need to share them? **ClipLinks** is a simple, fast, and privacy-focused browser extension that keeps all your important links just a click away. Configure once, copy instantly!
Perfect for developers, designers, content creators, job seekers, or anyone who frequently shares their online presence.
## Features
* **One-Click Copy:** Click any configured profile in the popup to instantly copy the full URL to your clipboard.
* **Clean Popup UI:** Displays your links clearly with platform icons and your chosen display text/username.
* **Easy Configuration:** Add, edit, and delete profiles via a straightforward Settings page.
* **Lightweight & Fast:** Designed to be minimal and responsive.
## Installation
Since this extension isn't on the official browser web stores (yet!), you need to load it manually as an "unpacked extension":
1. **Download:**
* Go to the [**Releases** page](https://github.com/abhishekmishragithub/ClipLinks/releases) and download the latest `.zip` file (e.g., `cliplinks-v1.0.0.zip`).
* **OR**, if you prefer, [clone or download](https://github.com/abhishekmishragithub/ClipLinks/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) this repository's `main` branch.
2. **Unzip:** Extract the downloaded `.zip` file into a dedicated folder on your computer. You should have a folder containing `manifest.json`, `popup.html`, `icons/`, etc.
3. **Open Browser Extensions:**
* **Chrome/Brave:** Type `chrome://extensions` in your address bar and press Enter.
* **Edge:** Type `edge://extensions` in your address bar and press Enter.
4. **Enable Developer Mode:** Find the "Developer mode" toggle (usually in the top-right corner) and switch it **ON**.
5. **Load Unpacked:**
* Click the "Load unpacked" button that appears.
* Navigate to and select the **folder** where you extracted the extension files (the folder that directly contains the `manifest.json` file).
6. **Done!** The ClipLinks icon should now appear in your browser's toolbar. You might need to click the puzzle piece icon (🧩) to pin it.
## Usage
1. **Click the ClipLinks icon** in your browser toolbar.
2. A popup will appear listing your configured profiles.
3. **Click on any profile entry** in the list.
4. The full URL associated with that profile will be copied to your clipboard. You'll see a "Copied!" confirmation message at the bottom of the popup.
5. Click the **gear icon (⚙️)** in the top-right of the popup to open the Settings page.
## Configuration
Manage your links via the Settings page:
1. **Access Settings:**
* Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the popup.
* **OR**, right-click the ClipLinks extension icon in your toolbar and select "Options".
2. **Add Profiles:**
* Click the "+ Add Profile" button.
* A modal window will appear.
* Select the `Platform` (e.g., LinkedIn, GitHub, Custom).
* If "Custom" is selected, enter a `Custom Platform Name` (e.g., "Blog").
* Enter the `Username / Display Text` you want to see in the popup (e.g., "stalwartcoder").
* Enter the complete `Full URL` that should be copied (e.g., `https://linkedin.com/in/stalwartcoder`).
* Click "Add Profile" (or "Save Changes" if editing).
3. **Manage Existing Profiles:**
* Each entry in the Settings list has action icons on the right:
* **Copy (❐):** Copies the Full URL.
