Refined GitHub

Browser extension that simplifies the GitHub interface and adds useful features

We use GitHub a lot and notice many annoyances we'd like to fix. So here be dragons.

Our hope is that GitHub will notice and implement some of these much-needed improvements. So if you like any of these improvements, please open a discussion on GitHub feedback or contact GitHub support about doing it.

GitHub Enterprise is also supported: How to enable it.

Fixes for GitHub shortcomings

Previously part of Refined GitHub

GitHub took inspiration from Refined GitHub and natively implemented dozens of its features, 🎉 so they've been removed from this extension. You can also see all the past features of Refined GitHub in a single list.

Customization

Most features can be disabled if they are JavaScript-based and you can override our CSS with your own in the extension options.

We're happy to receive suggestions and contributions, but be aware this is a highly opinionated project. There's a high bar for adding features. Users will always disagree with something. That being said, we're open to discussing things.
