## Description

OctoLinker is a browser extension that enhances navigation within GitHub repositories by converting text-based dependency references, import statements, and workflow actions into clickable links. It functions as a cross-language code navigator and dependency linker, transforming static references into direct links to source repositories and files.

The tool provides integrated package insight hovercards that display dependency details and package information without requiring the user to leave the current page. It specifically maps GitHub Action definitions in workflow files directly to their underlying source code.

The system covers codebase navigation enhancement through cross-language import mapping and dependency analysis workflows. It utilizes pattern matching and source mapping to resolve relative and absolute paths across different programming languages.
