Me @ GitHub

A Chrome extension that helps you easily find and navigate to every place you've been mentioned in GitHub issues, pull requests, and discussions.

Features

  • 🔍 Auto-detection: Automatically finds all mentions of your GitHub username in the @username format
  • 📊 Mention Counter: Displays a badge next to the issue/PR number showing the total count of mentions
  • 📌 Sticky Counter: Shows a floating counter in the top-right corner when scrolling down the page
  • 📋 Quick Navigation: Click the counter to see a dropdown list of all mentions with context
  • 🎯 Jump to Mention: Click any item in the list to scroll directly to that mention
  • ⬅️➡️ Prev/Next Controls: Hover over any highlighted mention to see navigation buttons (stay visible longer for easier use)
  • 🔄 Dynamic Updates: Automatically detects new mentions when "load more" content is added
  • 🎨 GitHub-styled UI: Seamlessly integrates with GitHub's interface (supports both light and dark modes)

  4. Click any counter to open a dropdown showing all mentions with surrounding context
  5. Click any item in the dropdown to jump directly to that mention
  6. Hover over any highlighted mention to see prev/next navigation buttons (they stay visible for 2 seconds)
