    Another problem is jumping to a particular place in the code, e.g., I want to open a link to the specific line in the current (or some other) branch that's hosted on GitHub. How do I do that? You can use git-link.el and browse-at-remote.el. They have some similarities and overlap in features, but they do have differences as well.
