Developer Tools

Refined GitHub

Enhance GitHub in Safari with link handling, code readability aids and shortcuts around pull requests and repository browsing.

Our take

Choose for an existing GitHub browser workflow.

Many small interface changes reduce repeated navigation rather than replacing GitHub itself.

Keep in mind: Features depend on site changes and permissions, and buttons that alter files still require review.

What you can do

  • Issue and pull-request reference links
  • Whitespace and code-view aids
  • Repository, release and review shortcuts

Good for

  • Developers working on GitHub in Safari.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting an offline repository editor or complete Git client.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • Features depend on site changes and permissions, and buttons that alter files still require review.

Privacy & permissions

An extension sees permitted GitHub pages, potentially private code; inspect access scope before enabling it.
