Wide GitHub

Change all GitHub repository and gist pages to be full width and dynamically sized.

What is Wide GitHub?

'Wide GitHub' is a unique Chrome extension that transforms how you view GitHub pages by optimizing repository and gist pages for full width and dynamic sizing. It enhances readability by eliminating horizontal scrolling for long lines of code. It's incredibly useful for those with large or high-dpi monitors, enabling you to see more documentation at once. The size can be easily toggled to view size-dependent docs or wiki pages.

Does not work on my setup. I have one portrait, one landscape display. It works on the landscape one but is too wide on the portrait one (I have to scroll to see the RHS of comments). Same thing happens if I have a window that is not maximised. Refreshing does not help.

Excellent!! Works pretty well. I just identified an issue when working together "GitHub Tree View" extension. When tree view is visible, this extension does not produces the expected result.
