Research direction

Start by tracing the file inspector, key-command handling, and source-control branch state mentioned in the issue. Check how GitHub remotes and selected file lines are exposed, then verify that the command and inspector button are enabled only for GitHub-tracked branches and produce a correct GitHub permalink.

enhancement inspector source control
Description

It would be awesome if CodeEdit could copy links to code when the workspace has a remote on GitHub.

I'd imagine it's on a key command like Command-shift-c as well as a button in the file inspector. It would only be abled when source control is on a branch that is tracked by a remote on GitHub. Then we can craft a link to the correct branch/file/lines using GitHub's permalink format.
