What is anchor link that Github uses to link to a specific commit line?
Question
I am trying to figure out what the anchor link (#diff- followed by an alphanumeric string and a line number) for specific file on a commit is, so I can generate links from an external system. Example:
This part: #diff-7a9f2b48de4b0ffcf7b436798ce9aaabR336 (the L67 refers to the line)?

So a diff is showing what a "head" commit changed, compared to a "base" commit.
The URL is basically /commit/<HEAD>#diff-<BASE>L<Line>
where <BASE> & <HEAD> are the commit's SHA hashes. As these can't contain "L" it's a good and safe indicator for the line number.
