GitHub 🔛 💌 Gmail

This is a Chrome and Firefox Extension that allows you to open threads in GitHub notification emails with a shortcut. ✨

Features

Mail View Shortcut

Open your GitHub notifications using a shortcut (default to shift + g, or shift + b to open in the background in Chrome), or this button in mail view:

List View Shortcut

The shortcut is ctrl + return(enter) (currently non-customizable). It will trigger one of these two when an email is selected using key navigation (when the blue bar appears):

1. Gmail action buttons.
2. A GitHub Issue/ PR that has an organization named label matching the Regular Expression (default to ^\((.+)\)).

The function will only look for a label if there are no action buttons.

2. Unzip the folder wherever you'd like.
3. Read Mu-An's code, making sure there is no data stealing.

Options and preferences

There are 3 preference settings:

1. Custom domains
2. Mail view shortcut
3. List view regular expression

Attention After updating a setting, please refresh both the extensions page and the Gmail page.

Custom Domains (for GitHub Enterprise)

If you are using GitHub Enterprise and have a custom domain, you can set it in the extension options page.

Mail View Shortcut

Customize the keyboard shortcut that triggers the View on GitHub button. Change the shortcut combination by focusing the input, and press whatever key(s) you want to be the shortcut. It will be displayed in keyCode which is why you see 71 here instead of g. Don't worry about it.

To open and focus the new window right away (shift + g):

To open a new window in the background (shift + b) – Chrome only:

List View Regular Expression

Custom Regular Expression for matching labeled Organization name. E.g. /^\((.+)\)/ matches muan in (muan)\github-gmail, and will be use to build the url: https://github.com/muan/github-gmail/issues.

This is not needed if all you need is triggering the action button.

Code

Chrome: chrome/src/inject/inject.js.
Firefox: firefox/data/index.js.
