GitHub PR Comment Injection

A first-pass Chrome extension for adding a button to GitHub PRs as a convenience for pasting standard text into a comment.

See the PR Coup! blog post for some background.

Installation

• Copy this directory to somewhere local, call it D
• Browse to chrome:://extensions
• Turn on Developer mode
• Click Load unpacked
• Browse to D and select it

Usage

Browse to a PR page on GitHub and scroll to the bottom. You should see a Inject Comment button.

Click it and the template will replace any text in the open comment text box.

Notes

• I have tried to condition the extension to only apply to GitHub pull requests only
• You might need to refresh page to see the button. I haven't worked out why some routes to the page need it yet.
