Jump to github urls (browser addon)

Currently a Firefox addon.

Find GitHub locations quickly using your browser's history.

Usage

Use your mouse or keyboard. Use the filter to search for a specific item.

The filter works by checking the titles and urls.

Buttons like "Commits" focus on certain kinds of items by matching against a url substring like "/commit/" plus the filter you enter.

Buttons 1, and 2 refer to path levels. For instance aa/bb is a 2-level path.

The Day button shows items that were visited in the last 24 hours.

Icons

Each item gets an icon based on the first level of the url.

For instance Bob/repo1 and Bob/repo2 will have the same icon, because they're both from Bob.

Icons are generated lazily, only when they get into view, making it load faster.

Clicking the icons makes an item a "favorite", making it appear in the Favorites list. When an item is a favorite it gets a yellow circular border around its icon:

All the information is gathered from the browser's history, it does zero network requests.

Editor

Clicking the "?" button reveals the settings editor.

This can be used to make GitHop work with another source instead of GitHub.

It can easily be adjusted to work with GitLab instead, for example.

This can also be used to add/remove custom buttons.

For instance you can have a Blender button with a "/blender/" path.

Modes

Buttons can have multiple modes.

path

This will match items that contain the defined path inside the URL. For instance /code/ will match something/code/myrepo/etc

title

This will match with the title content. This is the visible text on the items.

hours

This will match items that were visited before the hours defined. For instance an item visited 30 minutes ago will match with hours: 1. An item visited 3 hours ago won't match that.

level

This will match items that contain the right number of slashes. For instance aa/bb/cc will match a level of 3.

Combining Modes

Modes can be combined for more precise results:

{
  "name": "Test",
  "path": "/cat/",
  "hours": 24,
  "level": 2
}

Responsive

If there's space, the top will be displayed in a single row:
