GitHub Favorites

Note: this was built before Stars were a native feature of GitHub. As a result of that feature it made this extension no longer necessary. It's no longer actively maintained, but happy to still take PRs.

Do you like GitHub? Do you like following repos? Is your GitHub stream noisy from highly active repos? Then this Chrome Extension is for you!

This little extension for Google Chrome adds a Favorite button right next to the Watch button. When you hit that button it adds that repo to the folder 'GitHub Favorites' in your Bookmarks. If you want to remove the bookmark just hit the Favorite button again!

Simple, easy, clean, fun!

This was a weekend project that bled into the week. Why did it take so long? Life got in the way. Damn you life! Welcome Chrome Extension!

Hope you enjoy =)
