GitSort is a simple, lightweight browser extension that lets you sort GitHub files and folders by their latest changes. No setup, no tokens, and 100% private.

🌟 Key Features

  • Sort by Recent Commits: Easily sort any GitHub directory by when files were last modified. Find your most recent updates at the top in one click.
  • One-Click Absolute Dates: Click the Timestamp button to view exact dates and times (down to the second) in your local timezone instead of relative dates like "last month".
  • Persistent Preferences: The extension remembers your favorite sorting option (Default vs. Recent) and applies it automatically as you browse.
  • Seamless Interface: The GitSort toolbar is styled to look exactly like a native part of GitHub. It matches light, dark, and dimmed themes automatically.

🛡️ Privacy & Security First

  • No Access Tokens: Unlike other extensions, GitSort does not ask for your GitHub username, password, or Personal Access Tokens.
  • No Network Activity: The extension works entirely inside your browser. No data is ever collected or sent to external servers.
  • Ultra-Lightweight: Zero background usage or battery drain. It only activates when you are actively looking at a code repository.
