Gitmark

Bookmark links in a git repo. I maintain a repo like this called awesome-random-stuff.

A Chrome extension that bookmarks any webpage to a GitHub repo. Press a shortcut, edit the title and description, and it gets committed as markdown organized by date.

Install

1. Download or clone this repo
2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome
3. Enable Developer mode (top right)
4. Click Load unpacked and select this folder

Setup

1. Create a GitHub repo for your bookmarks (e.g. likes)
2. Add a file like README.md to it — this is where links get saved
3. Generate a token (see below)
4. Right-click the extension icon > Options and fill in your details

Token setup

Fine-grained token (recommended) — scoped to one repo, minimal permissions:

1. Go to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Fine-grained tokens
2. Click Generate new token
3. Name it gitmark, set expiration
4. Repository access → Only select repositories → pick your bookmarks repo
5. Permissions → Repository permissions → search Contents → set to Read and write
6. Generate and paste into Gitmark options

Classic token — broader access, simpler setup:

1. Go to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Tokens (classic)
2. Name it gitmark, set expiration
3. Check the repo scope
4. Generate and paste into Gitmark options

Usage

• Press Cmd+Shift+G (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows/Linux)
• A popup appears with the page title, description, and URL pre-filled
• Edit if needed, then click Save (or Cmd+Enter)
• Pick a custom date to file the link under a different day
• Press Escape or click outside to close

You can also click the extension icon to toggle the popup.

Format

Links are saved as markdown, organized by date (newest first):

### February 13, 2026
- [Page Title](https://example.com) — Description

### February 12, 2026
- [Another Page](https://example.com/other) — Another description
