Permalinking Commits

This extension creates a permalink from the current HEAD commit. If you need to create a permalink to a different commit, checkout that commit first.

git checkout v0.1.0
gh permalink my-file
# now you have a permalink to my-file at the commit tagged by v0.1.0
git checkout -  # go back to where you were previously checked out

Caveats

While this can create a permalink for any commit, that permalink will return a 404 error if the commit is not pushed. This extension doesn't handle pushing commits for you, so you'll need to do that yourself if you want to create a permalink to a file that may be ahead of the remote.
