Introducing Twigg Links
Today we are releasing Twigg Links, a browser extension that turns short links into pages of your repository.
Type go/docs, go/dashboard, go/oncall or go/whatever-you-want in the address bar. It redirects you to the URL you defined in your GOLINKS file. Type b/1234 and you are on bug 1234. Type c/1234 and you are on commit 1234.
It is available now for Chrome and Firefox, on all plans.
What it does
| You type | You land on |
|---|---|
go/docs | Your team's docs |
go/oncall | The on-call page |
b/1234 | Bug 1234 |
c/1234 | Commit 1234 |
Where is the dashboard link again? Someone sent it on Slack last week. Or was it in the wiki? Or in a doc?
With a go link you don't need to know. You remember what a thing is, not where it lives.
Twigg Links gives every page your team uses a short name. Nobody remembers grafana.example.com/d/abc123?orgId=4, but everybody remembers go/dashboard. Say it in a meeting, paste it in a chat, type it next month. It just works, and nobody has to go hunting for a link again.
Links live in your repo
There is no admin page and no extra tool. Your go links are a GOLINKS file at the root of your repository, one link per line:
docs https://twigg.vc/docs/v/2/
dashboard https://grafana.example.com/d/main
oncall https://example.com/oncall
To add a link, add a line and push. It goes through code review like any other change, and the whole team gets it at once.
Go links also work without the extension at https://twigg.vc/<user>/<repo>/go/<alias>. The extension just saves you the typing.
Get started
- Install it for Chrome or Firefox.
- Click the extension icon, enter your repository as
user/repo, and click Save. - Open a new tab and type
go/docs.
