Octohint is a browser extension which brings VSCode's IntelliSense hint to GitHub. Used to be named as Intelli-octo.
Install it from Chrome Web Store
Manual install is also available: Go to release page, find chrome.zip file and download it.
Make sure your version of Firefox supports web extensions. The installation is the same as Manual install of Chrome.
-
Download this zip file, double click to unpack it in Finder
-
At top menubar, click Develop -> Show Extension builder, then click '+' on the bottom left corner of popup window, choose 'Add Extension', then select unpacked folder on step 1.
-
Click 'Install' button on the top right, done.
With Octohint installed, when you view code at GitHub (For example this), you'll get features as follows:
- Hover to see quick information
- Click to show all occurrences
- [⌘] + Click to go to definition (For Windows and Linux user, use [Ctrl])
- Rich IntelliSense hint: TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS and more...
- Base token matching: All languages
Support GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. Since GitLab CE has many versions, I'm not sure it works correctly on every version. If you could find some bugs you could submit an issue.
If GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket you are using is hosted on different site, go to chrome://extensions, click options of Octohint, then add match patterns of your site, like https://www.example.com/*.
Octohint is a pure client thing. All code analysis are performed at your browser, which means your code and actions like click, mousemove will never be sent to any server. So feel free to use it at your private GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket.
