Le Git Graph - Commits Graph for GitHub

A browser extension that displays the git graph for any GitHub repository.

Demo

Installation

Install the extension from the link -

For Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, and Microsoft Edge:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/le-git-graph-commits-grap/joggkdfebigddmaagckekihhfncdobff

For Mozilla Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/le-git-graph-github-git-graph/

After installation, open any GitHub repository and a new 'Commits' tab will be visible.

Open the commits tab and follow the prompt to authenticate with your GitHub account.

Setup for Private Repos owned by an Organization

Access to private repositories owned by an organization is restricted by default. To access the commits graph for such repositories, you need to follow the following steps.

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following scopes -
   • repo | Full control of private repositories

For a more secure option, use a Fine-Grained token (beta) with the following scopes -

• repo | Read access to code, commit statuses, and metadata

3. Go back to the commits tab of a repo owned by the organization.
4. From the dropdown for "Authorize with GitHub", select "Custom Personal Access Token".
5. Enter the PAT and click on "Add PAT".

(Full access to repo is required to fetch the commits graph, because there is no read only access level for GitHub OAuth scopes as of now.)
