This is a simple Chrome Extension that I wrote. The purpose of this extension is to improve the UX of the GitHub.com branch comparison page. Have you ever compared a branch on GitHub and wondered why doesn't this icon (see fig1) actually switch the branches that I am comparing?!!
It annoys me so much, I took the time to write this Chrome Extension to add that functionality.
Please don't take this code seriously! This is just for fun and learning :)
Project uses Gulp to minify source file to extension.min.js and Yarn to manage packages. To install:
yarnTo compile:
yarn buildhttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-compare-branch-swi/fjlmkbgkecelphjcapljnhiebbcbimjh
Standard extension installation steps. The extension will only kick in when viewing the GitHub website.
