Visit any GitHub repository's issues page and see status badges appear automatically
Simply navigate to any GitHub repository's issues page (e.g., https://github.com/owner/repo/issues). The extension will:
- Automatically detect which projects each issue belongs to
- Display status badges next to issue titles
- Use colors matching your GitHub Projects status field configuration
You can customize how status badges appear:
- Default: Shows full status text with colored background (e.g., "In progress")
- Compact: Shows only colored dots - hover to see status text
To change display mode:
- Click the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
- Select your preferred mode from the "Display Mode" dropdown
- Badges update instantly on all open GitHub issue pages
No other configuration needed - it just works!
Q: Do I need a GitHub Personal Access Token? A: No! The extension uses OAuth - just click "Sign in with GitHub" and authorize the app.
Q: Is my GitHub token safe? A: Yes. Access tokens are stored in session storage (deleted when you close the browser), and the OAuth client secret is never exposed to your browser.
Q: Which projects does it support? A: GitHub Projects V2 only (the new projects interface).
Q: What if an issue is in multiple projects? A: The extension shows the status from the first connected project.
Q: Does it work on private repositories? A: Yes, as long as you've authorized the extension to access your repositories.
