What is it
Github corner is an npm package that allows you to include in your main website page a Github logo in a corner with a custom link and a nice animation on hover.
Why I use it
The first time I saw something similar was on a react-Pokedex I found on Github. The live application had on the left side a ribbon linked to the issue section of the git repo and on the right side a ribbon linked to the code section of the git repo.
I found this very useful for developers who want to go to the code repo in one click. But also very light to not pollute the interface.

How to use it
- Install the module with npm
npm install --save react-github-corner - Import it in your main app component
import GithubCorner from 'react-github-corner'; - Render the component
<GithubCorner href="https://github.com/username/repo" />

Conclusion
I think this kind of small link into your side project is always very good to have without surcharging the footer or header with non-related links. I can now share only my live project URL instead of sharing live and code URL everywhere.
