# Gabber
**Clone and edit GitHub repositories directly from your browser with temporary local copies**
## Overview
Gabber is a browser extension + CLI tool combination that lets you quickly clone GitHub
repositories into temporary directories and open them in your preferred editor. The
workflow consists of:
1. Browser extension that converts GitHub URLs to `gabber://` protocol links
2. Python script (bundled as macOS app) that handles cloning and temp directory management
## Features
- **One-click access** to repositories from GitHub pages
- **Automatic cleanup** of temporary directories after editing
- **Editor integration** with `$EDITOR` environment variable
- **Cross-protocol support** (HTTPS/SSH/Git URLs)
## Installation
### Browser Extension
1. Package the `ext/` directory as a browser extension
2. Install in your preferred browser (supports WebExtensions API)
### Python Script
Install the script and the macOS app bundle with `just install`.
## Credits
The idea for Gabber was inspired by [git-peek](https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/git-peek)
and [peek](https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/peek) by Jarred Sumner.
