[DEPRECATED] Web Extension enhancing the Travis CI status on GitHub pull request pages.

---

DEPRECATION NOTICE

This web extension is now deprecated because Travis CI not only moved domains but also no longer offers unlimited build time for open source projects (see this lovely article).

I can recommend everyone to move to GitHub Actions - it's unlimited for open source, and because it's built by the lovely developers of GitHub it's integrated very well, e.g. it already shows every build step in your PRs.

Web Extension enhancing the Travis CI status on GitHub pull request pages.

What it does

While the integration between GitHub and Travis CI works like a charm, it only provides minimal build information on Pull Request pages. In order to see further build information, developers always have to jump into the Travis CI web application.

The "GitHub & Travis CI: Enhance Status" web extension, once installed, enhances the build status by also showing the build jobs in the UI, including the real-time status and runtime. Plus, it provides a link for directly jumping into a build job log in Travis CI.
