GitHub Search Toolkit (Unofficial)

About

GitHub Search Toolkit (Unofficial) is a Chrome extension that helps
you compose, save, and launch high-signal GitHub search URLs from a
side panel — without scraping, automation, or API calls. The
extension only generates URLs and opens them in your existing browser
session.

═══ What it does ═══

A guided builder for GitHub's qualifier-stacked search across
Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, Code, Commits, Users, and a few
well-known inbox pages (review queue, assigned issues, trending). A
live URL preview updates as you compose, and every search can be
saved to your local library for one-click re-use.

═══ Use cases ═══

• Trending repos in a language — past week: language:rust pushed:>...
  with stars: thresholds, ready in one click from the Trending
  template.

• Review queue — PRs requesting your review: is:open is:pr
  review-requested:@me — your daily PR inbox without leaving the
  side panel.

• Assigned issues — across orgs: is:open is:issue assignee:@me,
  scoped by org or label with the saved-search Customize flow.

• Stars + recency + license: language:typescript stars:>500
  pushed:>2024-01-01 license:mit for sourcing well-maintained,
  permissively-licensed libraries.

• Code search inside a single repo: repo:<owner>/<name> in:file
  extension:ts — saved as a per-repo template for repeated audits.

═══ What it does NOT do ═══

• No background scraping. No content scripts running on page load.
  No scheduled fetches.
• No automation. No clicks, no API calls, no scraping of github.com.
• No data leaves your device. Saved searches and settings live in
  chrome.storage.local. The Export JSON feature writes to a file on
  your disk; nothing is sent over the network.

═══ Permissions used and why ═══

• storage: Persist user-defined saved searches, tags, and settings
  locally.
• sidePanel: Render the UI as a Chrome side panel so you can keep
  the Builder open while browsing.

═══ Privacy ═══

Full privacy policy: https://gvensan.github.io/social-chrome-plugins-home/privacy/github.html

The extension declares no host permissions and runs no content
scripts. It makes no network requests other than navigating tabs to
URLs you explicitly composed.
