The plugin also makes a tag available that generates links to edit the current page on GitHub.
<p>This site is open source. {% github_edit_link "Improve this page" %}</p>
Produces:
<p>This site is open source. <a href="https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-edit-link/edit/master/README.md">Improve this page</a></p>
