## Description

Wide GitHub is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your GitHub experience by making all repository and gist pages full width and dynamically sized. This means you can read long lines of code without having to scroll horizontally, significantly improving code readability and navigation.

The extension is perfect for users with large or high-DPI monitors, allowing you to see more documentation, wikis, and code at once. Additionally, the toggleable feature makes it easy to switch full-width mode on or off depending on your viewing preference. This tool streamlines your development workflow on GitHub by optimizing the layout to better fit your screen size.
