Print GitHub Markdown Bookmarklet

javascript:document.body.appendChild(document.querySelector("#readme"));document.querySelector("header").remove();document.querySelector(".application-main").remove();document.querySelector("footer").remove();window.print();

Make it into a bookmarklet. It removes everything around the markdown article and opens the print dialog.

This has been extremely helpful 😄 . I'm surprised GitHub doesn't support this by default.

It may be better to use document.querySelector(".markdown-body") instead of document.querySelector("#readme"). This seems to make it work on Wiki pages as well.

For what it's worth, with following code it works for me:

javascript:document.body.appendChild(document.querySelector(".markdown-body"));document.querySelector("[data-turbo-body]").remove();window.print();

Thanks! I added the following just before window.print() to remove all the ugly clipboard-copy buttons:

document.querySelectorAll("clipboard-copy").forEach((cc) => {cc.parentNode.removeChild(cc);});
