Gitpod Browser extension

This is the browser extension for Gitpod. It supports Chrome (see Chrome Web Store), Firefox (see Firefox Add-ons) and Edge (see how to install Chrome extensions), and adds a Gitpod button to the configured GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket installations (defaults to gitlab.com, github.com and bitbucket.org) which immediately creates a Gitpod workspace for the current Git context:

Build

Chrome & Firefox

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Safari

⚠️ A machine running macOS and Xcode 12+ installed is required!

First, run the following to install dependencies and build the web extension:

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Then run the build:safari command to build the Safari extension around the web extension:

yarn build:safari

Hit enter when presented with this screen.

Xcode will open the Gitpod.xcodeproj automatically if it's installed.

Test

Build the extension and

• unzip gitpod.xpi and load it as “unpackaged extension” (Chrome) or
• load gitpod.xpi as “temporary add-on” (Firefox) or
• open Gitpod/Gitpod.xcodeproj and run the project with cmd + r. ⚠️ Safari must have Allow Unsigned Extensions enabled.

The extension is active until the next restart of your browser.

Publishing
