Features & Capabilities

GitHub has a built-in compare view (https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/viewing-and-comparing-commits/comparing-commits) that lets you diff two commits, branches, or tags. It's incredibly useful for code review, debugging regressions, or understanding what changed between two points in time.

The problem is that GitHub doesn't surface this feature anywhere obvious in the UI. There's no button, no link in the repo nav — you have to manually construct the URL in your address bar every time. This extension fixes that.

Is GitHub SHA Compare 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 SHA Compare 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 SHA Compare may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
