Chrome/Firefox extension

Git Look Around

Lightning-fast command palette for GitHub repos, PRs, and issues.

Install from Chrome Web Store View on GitHub Firefox Add-ons · WIP

v0.3.2

A Chrome/Firefox extension that adds a command palette to GitHub so you can jump to repos, pull requests, and issues without losing your flow. It syncs your GitHub data in the background, shows rate-limit awareness, and stays out of the way until you hit the shortcut.

What it does

Toggle the overlay with Cmd+Shift+K (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+K (Linux/Windows) from any GitHub page.
Fuzzy search across repos, PRs, and issues with a single input and ghost-text suggestions for the top hit.
Filter to just your contributions or items you have visited; per-repo badges show PR/issue counts at a glance.
Popup panel shows sync status, rate limits, and lets you reload or jump to options.

Why this palette?

GitHub’s feature-preview Command Palette is heavier and broader; Git Look Around stays lightweight and focused on fast search + navigation.
Everything is reactive: as soon as sync finishes, repo/PR/issue results update without reloading GitHub.
Quick hop back to recent places (visited filter), inspired by the fast-switcher experience in modern IDEs.

Under the hood

Built with Vue 3 + WXT; background workers index your GitHub repos, pull requests, and issues for fast local filtering.
Content script mounts the command palette UI directly on GitHub; the popup detects the current repo and lets you force a sync if needed.
Icons and branding come from the extension bundle; keep assets under /git-look-around/ when updating this page.
