About PR Description Guard
PR Description Guard is a Chrome Extension that helps maintain high-quality pull request descriptions. It validates PR descriptions in real-time as you type, showing helpful inline warnings when essential sections are missing.
✅ Key Features:
• Real-time Validation - Validates as you type (debounced for performance)
• Three Required Sections:
- "What changed" - Describes the changes made
- "Why" - Explains the reason for changes
- "How it was tested" - Documents testing approach
• Non-intrusive Warnings - Inline guidance that doesn't block PR creation
• Works Everywhere - Compatible with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and all Git platforms
• Dark Mode Support - Automatically adapts to GitHub's dark theme
• Zero Data Collection - All validation happens locally in your browser
• Privacy First - No tracking, no analytics, no data transmission
How It Works:
The extension monitors the PR description textarea on pull request pages. As you type, it validates the content against the three required sections. If any sections are missing, a helpful warning appears below the textarea with specific guidance.
Privacy:
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any user content or personal data. All validation happens locally in your browser. No network requests are made, no PR descriptions are stored, and no analytics are used. Only your extension preferences (enableValidation, showOnExistingPRs, strictMode) are stored locally using Chrome's storage API.
