        #  Refined GitHub

> Browser extension that simplifies the GitHub interface and adds useful features

We use GitHub a lot and notice many annoyances we'd like to fix. So here be dragons.

Our hope is that GitHub will notice and implement some of these much-needed improvements. So if you like any of these improvements, please open a discussion on [GitHub feedback](https://github.com/github-community/community/discussions) or contact [GitHub support](https://support.github.com/request) about doing it.

GitHub Enterprise is also supported: [How to enable it](https://fregante.github.io/webext-permission-toggle/?name=Refined%20GitHub&icon=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Frefined-github%2Frefined-github%2Fmain%2Fsource%2Ficon.png).

### Previously part of Refined GitHub

[GitHub took inspiration from Refined GitHub](https://github.blog/2018-08-28-announcing-paper-cuts/) and natively implemented dozens of its features, 🎉 so they've been [removed from this extension.](https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+label%3A%22implemented+by+github%22) You can also see [all the past features](https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+-label%3Ameta+in%3Atitle+drop+feature) of Refined GitHub in a single list.

## Customization

Most features can be disabled if they are JavaScript-based and you can override our CSS with your own in the extension options.

We're happy to receive suggestions and contributions, but be aware this is a highly opinionated project. There's [a high bar for adding features.](https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/wiki/%22Can-you-add-this-feature%3F%22) Users will always disagree with something. That being said, we're open to discussing things.
