About GitHub Assistant

Streamline your GitHub workflow with intelligent fork detection, one-click imports, and enhanced raw file navigation. 1. Smart Fork Detection & Navigation When you visit a repository that you've forked, the extension automatically detects your fork and adds a "Go to Fork" button in the repository header. When you're on a forked repository, it adds a matching "Back to Upstream" button, letting you instantly return to the original repository with a single click. Supports multiple accounts (personal and organizations). When you have multiple forks across different accounts, a dropdown menu appears for quick selection. 2. One-Click Repository Import Import any repository to your account with one click. The extension pre-fills GitHub's import page with all repository details—name, description, and privacy settings—so you just click "Begin Import" to complete the process. Perfect for quickly duplicating projects or migrating repositories. 3. Enhanced Raw File Navigation When viewing raw files on GitHub or Gist, the extension adds "Go to File" and "Copy All" buttons in the upper right corner. Jump back to the formatted file view or copy entire file contents to your clipboard instantly. Works seamlessly on both repository raw pages and Gist raw pages. Key Features - Auto-detects when you're viewing a repo you've forked - "Go to Fork" on upstream repos and "Back to Upstream" on forks - Multi-account support (personal + organizations) - Dropdown menu when multiple forks exist - One-click repository imports with pre-filled settings - Raw file navigation and clipboard copy buttons - Seamlessly integrated into GitHub's UI, looks and feels native
