peek – 1-click from GitHub to local editor

Instantly open files, pull requests, and repositories from GitHub in your local editor. Read, search, and review code from the comfort of your own local editing environment.

This adds "peek" buttons to Github that open git-peek://github-url-in-here, which triggers git-peek to very quickly fetch the file/branch/repo/pull request and open it in your local editor. All the magic is in git-peek. This just adds some buttons so you don't have to paste links into your terminal.
