Chrome extensions I use to enhance my GITHUB experience

 Best Chrome Extensions 2021

``

As a developer, we use GitHub every day and it is already a great tool, but what if we can make it even better with some chrome extensions!

1. Octotree

 

It enhances GitHub code review and exploration with features like:

• IDE-like code tree
• Folder and file search
• Issues and Pull Request bookmarking
• Support for private repositories
  

I like this extension very much! It lets you explore the files and folders of a repository with a tree like structure.

2. Open in VS Code

It Opens links to source code for any github repository in VSCode. Also works with Gitlab.

In case you want to open the whole repository in GitHub directly with VSCode view rather than a single file, Just add 1s after github. Example: github.com/user/somerepository -> github1s.com/user/somerepository.

3. Refined GitHub

 

It simplifies the GitHub interface and adds useful features too, for instance:

• Adds reaction avatars showing who reacted to a comment
• Adds one-click merge conflict fixers
• Adds a button to revert all the changes to a file in a PR
  

4. Do-not-merge-WIP

 

Disables "Merge pull request" button while ANY of the following is true:

• Title contains "[wip]" (case insensitive)
• Any tasks remain incomplete
• Any commit messages remain prefixed with "squash!" or "fixup!"
  

5. Enhanced GitHub

It provides useful features on top of GitHub Website:

• Displays repo size
• Displays each file size for every active branch
• Show download link for each file
• Copy file's contents directly to Clipboard
• Download file while viewing its contents.

6. Githunt

It lets you hunt the most starred projects on GitHub on any date. Very useful when you want to explore the most trending repo of the week/month/year.

7. CodeCopy

It lets you copy the text from any file on github to your clipboard. Apart from Github it also works on :

• Stack Overflow
• MDN
• Medium
• NPM
