Description

Allow rdoc to know the github repository and provide a link to the file and line where the method starts

Rdoc already has this information so it should not be hard to provide just a link.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by tracing how RDoc produces HTML documentation and where it retains repository, file, line, and method-location information. Confirm the repository can be identified, then define completion as a generated “Improve this on github” link pointing to the relevant file and line; no specific file or test is named in the issue.
