Description
Jump to any of your GitHub orgs and your recent or favourite repos in one click. Unofficial, not made by GitHub. Getting from a repo in one GitHub organization to another organization's repo list takes four clicks: Home, the account switcher, the organization, then Repositories. This makes it two. Click the toolbar icon, click an organization, and you land on its repository list. WHAT IT DOES Organizations. Add them once, then open any of them in one click. Hovering a row reveals shortcuts to that account's Overview, Repositories and Projects pages. Personal accounts work too, so you can add your own username for quick access to your own repos. Recent repos. The five repositories you most recently opened on github.com, listed automatically. Pause the tracking, or clear the history, whenever you like. Favorites. Star a repository to pin it, up to five. Favorites follow your Chrome profile between computers. WHAT IT SENDS Nothing, unless you ask it to. There is no sign-in, no GitHub token, no server, and no call to the GitHub API. The recent-repo list is worked out from the addresses of github.com tabs you already have open. It is stored on your own computer and never leaves it. That is the only reason the extension asks for permission on github.com, and it is why it asks for that rather than the much broader "tabs" permission, which would expose the address of every tab you open on any site. It never reads the content of a page. There is one optional switch, off unless you turn it on, that sends anonymous counts of which parts of the extension get used. It never sends the name of an organization or repository, any address you visit, or anything that identifies you. Turning it on is what triggers Chrome to ask for the extra permission, and turning it off gives the permission back. What it sends is listed in full on the settings page, before you decide. OPEN SOURCE MIT licensed. The code is at github.com/momentous-developments/org-switcher-for-github, so none of the above has to be taken on trust. Unofficial.
