Development

If you'd like to hack on the extension, you can install it temporarily in your current Firefox session from source as follows:

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/mgalgs/github-pr-fetch.git

2. Open Firefox, and enter about:debugging in the URL bar.

3. Click "This Firefox" (in newer versions of Firefox) or "Load Temporary Add-on" (in older versions).

4. Open the github-pr-fetch/extension directory and select any file inside the directory.

The extension should now be temporarily installed, and you'll see it listed in your add-ons. Make any changes you'd like and then click Reload.
