Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension checks if a software development repository visited by the user in a supported code hosting platform is archived and uptodate in Software Heritage. A color button on the right of the browser indicates if it is uptodate (green), in which case clicking on the button opens a tab on the corresponding page of the archive, missing (grey) or not up to date (yellow), in which case clicking on the button triggers a save code now request, and optionally shows the save request submitted to the Software Heritage archive.

A red color indicates that the API request of information for the repository did not succeed: this happens typically when one is visiting a repository that is not publicly accessible, and that naturally cannot be archived.

Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab.com and GitLab instances on domain names of the shape gitlab.., and Gitea instances of the shape gitea.. are supported out of the box. GitLab and Gitea instances on other domains can be added in the options panel.
