About GitHub Account Switcher

Stop manually switching GitHub accounts. This extension detects which account you should be using based on the URL and switches automatically. Set up rules to map GitHub organizations, repositories, or page IDs to specific accounts. When you navigate to a matching page on the wrong account, the extension switches to the correct one instantly using GitHub's built-in multi-account sessions. Rule types: - Organization: match any URL under a GitHub org - Page ID: match GitHub Pages authentication redirects - Path prefix: match URLs starting with a specific path - Regex: full URL pattern matching for advanced use cases Features: - Configurable rules with a clean settings page - Manual switch from the popup with one click - Supports GitHub's SPA navigation (no missed page transitions) - Skips switching on account-agnostic pages (settings, notifications, explore) - Cooldown protection to prevent switch loops Prerequisites: - You must have multiple accounts added to GitHub's built-in account switcher (Profile menu → Switch account → Add account) - Only works on github.com This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All configuration is stored locally in your browser via Chrome's sync storage.
