As of January 2022, GitHub put git.io service to read-only. Therefore, this extension no longer work.
Did you ever feel annoying when shortening a GitHub URL with Git.io, by typing curl -i manually? Let's do it within our browser!

You can also click on the shortened URL, and it will be copied to your clipboard!
It's welcomed! You may help me by:
- making a fancy new icon, or
- fixing bugs (see Issues section)
