Nice one! Looks like it only checks for the following domains: https://gist.github.com/* https://github.com/* I'd give 5 stars if I was able to also add my company's internal github domain to this. Currently I can only use this extension in a small handful of the repos I interact with daily. For example: `https://github.meta.biz`.
