Github diff helper

When you have too many files in one github diff, this extension helps you filter out the noise

Github Diff Helper is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your experience when reviewing pull requests on GitHub. When a repository contains too many files in one diff, scrolling through all of them can become overwhelming. This extension adds a convenient button right in the GitHub diff view, allowing you to selectively hide specific file types to avoid distraction and focus on what really matters.

Ideal for developers working with compiled CSS files like SCSS or LESS, or those coding in CoffeeScript who prefer to skip over generated JavaScript files during review. It’s also a great tool for team code reviewers who might be responsible for inspecting only part of a large diff. Updated to support GitHub’s new asynchronous file loading, Github Diff Helper streamlines code reviews by minimizing noise and boosting productivity.
