Features & Capabilities

"Pin for GitHub" allows you to "pin" GitHub repositories to your pin-board. This allows you to save cool repositories without having to publicly star them. Pins use Firefox's sync storage to synchronize pins between all your devices.

Simply click on the newly created "Pin" button on any repository to add it your pin-board. In your GitHub dropdown-menu in the top right you can then click on "Your pins" to view all your pinned repositories later. Your pins are only stored on your local browser and your Firefox account - we do not save any pins ourselves.

The full source code of this extension is available on https://github.com/vantezzen/pinforgithub, if you find any issues or have a question please visit https://github.com/vantezzen/pinforgithub/issues.

This extension needs the following permissions:

"Read and change all you data on github.com" to add the "Pin" button to GitHub pages and show you the "Your pins" page.

This extension is not affiliated to GitHub in any way!

Is Pin for GitHub 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.

Pin for GitHub 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.

Pin for GitHub has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
