Re: Navigating GHC proposals

Well, you can go to the history of the file, and from there to the first commit ("Rename proposal file"), and from there you'll see a link to the pull request in the blue box next to the name of the branch (the link looks like "#32" in this case). But really, I wouldn't recommend sending the rendered link to someone, send the link to the pull request. On 9 January 2017 at 16:05, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

Seriously? But the rendered proposal is the useful link to send to people. There _*must_ *be a way, even if its indirect.

I don't think there is a way to go from the rendered proposal to the pull request, other than the "back" button in your browser.

The constraint-vs-type proposal seems a little bit weird in that it actually has a branch in the ghc-proposals repository itself, rather than being a pull request from a fork in @goldfire's account. Richard, was that intentional?

Once I am looking the rendered form of a GHC proposal, eg

how can I find my way to the “conversation” for that proposal, so I can comment on it?

Once more, I am lost in a maze of twisty little Githup passages. I clearly have not yet internalised an accurate model of what Github is thinking

Thanks
