Features & Capabilities

The GitHub Repository Size Chrome extension enhances your GitHub experience by displaying the size of repositories directly in their summary band, next to contributors and license information. Utilizing the GitHub public API, it provides quick size insights for both public and private repositories.

For private repositories, the extension prompts for a Personal Access Token with the 'repo' scope to fetch size data securely. While the size details are sourced from GitHub's API, note that they may be approximate due to how GitHub internally stores repository data. This tool is ideal for developers seeking immediate visibility into repository sizes without navigating away from GitHub.

User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: several users report the add-on doesn’t work and seems outdated, with some recommending a fork (Deetss). Others praise its usefulness on GitHub (notably viewing repository size) and its clean, fast UI. Overall, it can be handy when it runs, but expect potential breakages and lack of ongoing support on some setups.

Pros

Works reliably when it functions / performs well.
Useful for GitHub users; helps see repository size and is regarded as a must-have by some.
Polished UI/UX; looks good and feels fast/elegant.

Cons

Does not work for many users; functionality is broken or unavailable.
Outdated / not maintained (appears to be about three years old).
Forked version (Deetss) recommended; use the fork as an alternative.

Is Github Repository Size Safe?

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 Size requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Github Repository Size has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
