Features & Capabilities

Limitations

Note: This extension is still a proof of concept and has the following limitations:

It is limited to Public repositories only.
It is limited to repositories with 10 or less pull requests.
GitHub has a rate limit of 60 requests per hour. Usually same requests are cached but if you want to check multiple files in different repositories, you can quickly "run out" of requests.

Most of the limitations above are there only because I wanted to save time and focused on solving the core idea behind the extension.

The source code behind this extension is available on GitHub. If you want to follow the development, file an issue or contribute, please check out the repo.

User Reviews

As of writing (Sept. 10, 2020), this extension does not function at all. Reproduction steps: - open any public repository - open any pending pull request and choose any file it modifies - open that file on target branch - use extension to view the "potential changes" Result: I see "There are no pull requests in this repository. That means there are no changes related to this file." Since I explicitly chose a file with "potential changes", the data this extension reports is definitely incorrect.

Is Potential changes 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.
