How to link to specific line number on github

Question

I know I can link to a specific line number on a file on a github repo (I\'m sure I\'ve seen this before)...

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Answer 1

Click the line number, and then copy and paste the link from the address bar. To select a range, click the number, and then shift click the later number.

Alternatively, the links are a relatively simple format, just append #L<number> to the end for that specific line number, using the link to the file. Here's a link to the third line of the git repository's README:
