GitHubInstallerBookmarklet

This is a Javascript Bookmarklet to run Apex/Visualforce repositories against Andrew Fawcett’s GitHubInstaller tool. Many developers have made your life easier by including this cool button, with the appropriate link to Andy’s tool:

But some repos of useful Salesforce platform context don’t include the button, and this bookmarklet aims to fill the gap for them.

Drag this link:

onto your bookmarks bar, or into a bookmark folder. Now, when you are on a GitHub repository that doesn’t have the handy button on it, click the bookmark. The Javascript does a basic sanity check to make sure that you’re a) on GitHub, and b) on a repo with Apex in it. Then it redirects you to the GitHub Salesforce Deploy Tool, passing in the repo’s URL.

Tested and working on:
