Colorize issue and PR links to see their status (open, closed, merged)

The GitHub Issue Link Status Chrome extension enhances your GitHub browsing experience by colorizing issue and pull request (PR) links based on their status — open, closed, or merged. By leveraging GitHub's GraphQL API, it efficiently checks all links on a page with a single HTTP request, providing instant visual cues to help you quickly identify the current state of each issue or PR.

To ensure seamless functionality, users must create and add a GitHub API token via the extension's Options page. The extension also supports GitHub Enterprise environments, with additional configuration details available in the options. This tool is perfect for developers and project managers aiming to streamline navigation and improve productivity on GitHub repositories.

Great extension! Love it! Even with the new Github updates, I still keep it installed as they haven't yet implemented it on PRs... But I was still very very appreciative to have this extension whilst Github didn't implement this natively, so thank you very very much!!

Tut was es soll. Außerdem wird es von fähigen Entwicklern gewartet und ständig erweitert. Klare 5*!
