If GITHUB_TOKEN is found in the environment, it will be use to access GitHub API.
"Human" GitHub URLs (e.g. https://github.com/tebeka/expmod/blob/main/go.mod) will be redirected to raw content.

Example

$ expmod go.mod 
github.com/sahilm/fuzzy v0.1.0:
	Go library that provides fuzzy string matching optimized for filenames and code symbols in the style of Sublime Text, VSCode, IntelliJ IDEA et al.
github.com/stretchr/testify v1.8.4:
	A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library

Install

You can get the tool from the GitHub release section, or:

$ go install github.com/tebeka/expmod@latest

(If you go install, expmod won't display the right version with the -version flag).

Make sure $(go env GOPATH)/bin is in your $PATH.
