2. Open the folder in your favorite code editor and start adding modifications.
3. Load the folder in chrome://extensions/ on chrome (Load unpacked)

💻 Development guidelines

1. Put all the code in one of the existing files in /src. If you add a new file, make a relevant modification to build.js.

2. Push all the code to your own branch. Once you are sure it is working, merge it with the dev branch. Let's maintain only the stable and released versions on the master branch.

3. Write a kick-ass, readable, and clean code.

4. Load the /build folder in chrome://extensions/ on chrome (Load unpacked)

📝 Learning Resources

Read these articles to get a quick grab on making Chrome extensions:

• Google Chrome official docs
• Free Code Camp's article on # How to Create and Publish a Chrome Extension in 20 minutes

Resources to learn Git:

• https://try.github.io/

🧐 Simple things to keep in mind

• The first step is to create a manifest file named manifest.json. This is a metadata file in JSON format that contains properties like your extension’s name, description, version number, and so on. In this file, we tell Chrome what the extension is going to do, and what permissions it requires.
• To test if the extension works, visit chrome://extensions in your browser and ensure that the Developer mode checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.
• Click Load unpacked extension and select the directory in which your extension files live. If the extension is valid, it will be active straight away so you can open a new tab to see your extension.
• When your first Chrome extension looks nice and works as it should, it’s time to publish it to the Chrome Store. Simply follow this link to go to your Chrome Web Store dashboard (you’ll be asked to sign in to your Google account if you’re not). Then click the **Add new item** button, accept the terms and you will go to the page where you can upload your extension. Now compress the folder that contains your project and upload that ZIP file.
• As a web developer, it’s very easy to create a Chrome extension in a short amount of time. All you need is some HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic knowledge of how to add functionality through some of the JavaScript APIs that Chrome exposes. Your initial setup can be published inside the Chrome Web Store within just 20 minutes. Building an extension that’s new, worthwhile or looks nice will take some more time. But it’s all up to you!
