GitHub Repository Explorer is a simple yet powerful Chrome and Edge extension designed to streamline your access to GitHub repositories. Inspired by Microsoft's VS Code Launcher, this extension leverages your browser history to quickly launch repositories you've recently visited directly from the Chrome Omnibox. Simply type 'repo' in your browser's search bar to activate the extension and either open your recent GitHub repositories or search GitHub if a repository isn't in your history.

Additional functionality includes a quick shortcut by clicking the extension icon to jump straight to the GitHub homepage. This tool is ideal for developers looking to enhance productivity by minimizing navigation time between projects and GitHub resources, offering a seamless way to manage your workflow without leaving the browser interface.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub Repository Explorer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
