Private Repos

In order to use this extension with private repos, you'll need to add your GitHub access token that will be used to query the API. Instructions are below.

Permissions

  • "*://*.github.com/*" for accessing the GitHub page.
  • storage for storing GitHub access token and repo cache locally.
  • webRequest for handling SPA page changes.
  • webNavigation for handling SPA page changes.

GitHub API Rate Limiting

This extensions uses the GitHub public API to query for all the changelogs in a repo. It will cache the results for a short amount of time, but you can still exceed the public quota. See GitHub Rate Limiting.

To solve this, you can add a GitHub personal access token.

  1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens.
  2. Generate a new token with the repo scope.
  3. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar, select the extension, options, then enter the access token in the window.

Each API request will now use your token.

Privacy

This extension doesn't report any data and never phones home. The only data stored locally is your GitHub access token and repo cache.
