GitHub Version Tags
===================
Displays the latest version of a project next to the repo name on GitHub.
Features
--------
- Displays the latest semantic version tagged in the repo 
- Displays the next pre-release (if available) 
- Displays all versions on mouse hover
Installation
------------
Or manually:
1. Download or `git clone http://github.com/joeyespo/github-version-tags.git`
2. Open Chrome extensions and click on the `Load unpacked extension` button
3. Select the downloaded directory
How it works
------------
The extension requests the tags of the current repo from [the public GitHub API](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-tags),
performs a semver-sort (which supports the optional `v` prefix), and inserts
a `` next to the name. This is then cached until you leave the repo.
For private repos, it parses the tags from the `Switch branches/tags` dropdown.
This isn't as reliable since that HTML isn't on every page, but since you're
likely to want to see more versions of public repos than your own personal or
company repos, this keeps the project simple and avoids the auth concern.
Contributing
------------
