arXiv2git: A Convenient Tool for Finding GitHub Links from arXiv Pages
arXiv2git is a free Chrome add-on developed by Travis Hoppe that aims to simplify the process of finding GitHub links from arXiv pages. It is specifically designed for researchers and developers who struggle to search for code mentioned in academic papers.
Searching for code in papers can be challenging, especially when there are numerous links scattered throughout the text. arXiv2git addresses this issue by linking arXiv pages with relevant GitHub repositories. With this extension, users can easily locate the associated GitHub links and gain access to the code mentioned in the paper.
The extension works by modifying the arXiv page to display the known GitHub links, making it more convenient for users to find the code they are looking for. This tool streamlines the process of connecting research papers with their corresponding code repositories, saving researchers valuable time and effort.
Feedback for arXiv2git is encouraged, but users are requested to provide it on the GitHub project page rather than contacting the developer directly. This ensures that feedback is centralized and accessible to the wider community.
arXiv2git is a helpful tool for researchers and developers who frequently refer to arXiv papers and need to locate the associated GitHub code repositories. By simplifying the process of finding GitHub links, this Chrome add-on enhances productivity and facilitates efficient collaboration within the research community.
