When viewing a commit in a PR, automatically add the current URL to newly opened comments, to show the context in which the reviewer made the comment.
This is a script that runs locally in your browser (via an extension like Greasemonkey) and improves a pull-request review workflow on (currently only) Github when code is reviewed commit-by-commit. In such a workflow, the reviewer typically adds comments while looking at a single commit, and it is helpful for the pull request submitter to know which commit the comment refers to (i.e. what was the reviewer looking at when they submitted the comment).
Github (and also other forges) unfortunately do not record this information, lumping all comments on a big pile.
This script is simple: Whenever you start writing a new comment when viewing a single commit, the URL of the current page (which includes the git hash, but possibly also a deeplink to the diff chunk) is prefilled at the top of the comment.
This link is then displayed abbreviated, resulting into something like this:
