Sneetches is a Chrome extension that adds stars next to GitHub repo links.
Install the extensions from the Chrome Store.
Or, download this repo, and follow the instructions at Getting Started Tutorial > Create the Manifest, starting at “The directory holding the manifest file can be added as an extension”.
Sneetches uses the GitHub API to retrieve repository metadata.
Sneetches makes an API call for each GitHub repo it sees in any visited page. It will therefore quickly exceed the 60 request-per-hour rate limit for unauthenticated requests. When this happens, it will display an hourglass after the repo name, instead of the repo summary statistics.
To increase this limit, create a GitHub Personal Access Token by following this link, and paste this token into the Sneetches options.
If you want Sneetches to add metadata to links to private repositories, give this token "repo" scope. Otherwise, it doesn't need any scopes.
See docs/CONTRIBUTING.
- Github Hovercard shows more information, on hover instead of inline.
- Lovely Forks adds a guess at a project's active fork, beneath its name on the repo page.
