## Description

Enhanced GitHub is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your GitHub experience by adding essential features directly on the GitHub website. It displays the total repository size and the size of each individual file, providing immediate insight into your project's storage.

This extension also offers convenient download links for each file (excluding folders and symlinks), and a quick option to copy the contents of files directly to your clipboard, speeding up your workflow. With a strong emphasis on privacy, Enhanced GitHub does not collect or share your data and only requests GitHub Access Token permissions when accessing private repositories or handling rate limiting.

Open-sourced under the MIT License, Enhanced GitHub supports GitHub's single-page application setup with necessary permissions, ensuring a smooth browsing experience. For ongoing updates and support, users can contribute suggestions or report issues via the GitHub repository.
