## Description

Github Repo Status is a Firefox add-on that provides an at-a-glance overview of GitHub repositories activity status. The add-on changes the icon color in the browser bar to indicate the status of a repository (Green for ACTIVE, Yellow for INACTIVE, Orange for UNMAINTAINED, and Red for ABANDONED). It is a convenient tool for quickly identifying active repositories and filtering out inactive ones.
