## Description

GitSync saves your browser session, including all open tabs and tab groups, to a GitHub repository. You can then load this session on another computer.

The add-on provides manual controls to "push" (save) your current session and "pull" (load) a saved session. It also includes an optional auto-push feature to periodically back up your tabs at a user-defined interval. A URL filter allows you to exclude specific sites from being saved.

How to Use:
<ul><li>Create a new private repository on GitHub (e.g., "gitsync-data").</li><li>Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) by going to GitHub &gt; Settings &gt; Developer settings &gt; Personal access tokens &gt; Tokens (classic).</li><li>Click "Generate new token," give it a name, set an expiration, and grant it the full repo scope.</li><li>Copy the generated token (ghp_...).</li><li>In the GitSync settings, enter your GitHub username, repository name, and the Personal Access Token.</li></ul>
