The application offers a range of features designed to enhance the experience of using GitHub. It automatically converts issue and pull request references, as well as URLs within the code, into clickable links, making navigation easier and more efficient. Additionally, it improves code readability by making whitespace characters visible, helping developers identify formatting issues and understand code structure more clearly.
One of the notable features is the adjustment of tab width, reducing it from the default eight spaces to four, aligning with common coding standards. The app also simplifies conflict resolution by providing single-click merge conflict fixers, saving developers time and effort during pull request reviews. Reaction avatars are added to comments, giving users a quick visual overview of who has reacted, which fosters better collaboration and communication within projects.
The application introduces convenient tools such as a button to revert all changes in a file within a pull request, enabling quick rollback when needed. It also displays important status indicators like build and CI status icons next to the repository name, providing immediate insight into the current health of the build process. Additionally, users can view the source code of Markdown files directly through an integrated button, streamlining documentation review.
Beyond these features, the app provides various insights and navigational aids. It shows which pull requests involve the current file, highlights the most helpful comments in conversations, and indicates the first Git tag in which a merged pull request was included. It also includes links to automatic changelogs for releases, displays related pages on 404 errors, and reveals the age of repositories in the sidebar. With over 200 features in total, the tool aims to greatly improve workflow efficiency and project management on GitHub. The developer website offers a complete list of all functionalities.
