  description

  Stop wasting time switching tabs, copy-pasting version strings, and manually triggering GitHub Actions.
  
  LazyDeploy turns your GitHub Pull Request comment threads into an interactive deployment dashboard. It intelligently scans PR comments for version strings, branches, and profiles, injecting clean, responsive "Build" and "Deploy" buttons exactly where you need them.
  
  🚀 STREAMLINE YOUR DEPLOYMENT WORKFLOW
  1. One-Click Builds: Instantly post custom build commands (like /deploy {branchName}) straight from the PR header. The extension even auto-scrolls to your new comment.
  2. One-Click Deploys: Dispatch GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch events immediately, with pre-filled inputs (version, profile, PR title, branch) extracted perfectly from the comment.
  3. Smart Workflow Routing: Set conditional rules to automatically target the correct workflow file based on the version string (e.g., routing hotfixes vs. regular releases).
  
  🎨 CLEAN UI, ZERO DISTRACTIONS
  1. Hover-to-Reveal Buttons: Deploy buttons stay elegantly hidden next to comment time until you hover over it, keeping your GitHub UI pristine. They automatically hide after 5 seconds of inactivity.
  2: PR State Gating: Smart safety checks automatically hide build actions if a PR is already merged or closed.
  3: Live Action Feedback: Stay informed with inline loading spinners, success/failure button states, and native toast notifications in the bottom-right corner.
  
  ⚙️ DEEPLY CONFIGURABLE & SECURE
  1. Granular Filters: Exclude specific repositories (like Helm value or infra repos) and filter comments by specific authors or CI bots.
  2. Fully Customisable JSON: Fine-tune regex extraction patterns, button labels, colours, and workflow inputs directly from a developer-friendly options page.
  3. Privacy First: LazyDeploy runs entirely on your local machine. It requests zero unnecessary permissions, has no external analytics, and never exports anything. Your GitHub Personal Access Token is saved securely in your local browser storage.
  
  🛠️ Quick Setup Guide
  LazyDeploy gets you up and running in under a minute with an instant onboarding flow:
  1. Install the extension.
  2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (Classic or Fine-Grained) with 'repo' and 'workflow' scopes.
  3. Paste it into the automatic onboarding page. The extension instantly validates your token against the GitHub API.
  4. (Optional) Customize your workflow triggers via the JSON configuration editor in the extension options.
  
  🔒 Permissions Used:
  1. storage: To securely save your local configuration and GitHub token.
  2. host_permissions (api.github.com): Strictly used to validate your token, dispatch your specified GitHub Actions workflows, and post deployment comments on your behalf.
  
  Eliminate the hassle from your release pipeline. Download LazyDeploy and deploy code without ever leaving the conversation.

  LazyGitHub: Automate repetitive GitHub workflows directly from GitHub.
  
  LazyGitHub adds configurable actions throughout GitHub, allowing you to trigger workflows, create deployments, dispatch events, post comments, and automate common development tasks without leaving the page you're working on.
  
  Whether you're managing releases, coordinating deployments, running CI workflows, or operating internal tooling, LazyGitHub brings your team's automation closer to where work happens.
  
  • What You Can Do?
  -> Trigger GitHub Actions Workflows: Run workflows with pre-filled inputs gathered from the current GitHub context.
  -> Post Automated Comments: Create one-click actions that post comments, slash commands, status updates, or workflow instructions.
  -> Fire Repository Dispatch Events: Trigger custom automations and integrations using repository dispatch events with configurable payloads.
  -> Create Deployments: Create deployment records directly from GitHub using values derived from the current repository context.
  -> Collect Input at Runtime: Prompt for values when actions are executed, allowing a single configuration to support multiple use cases.
  
  • Context-Aware Automation
  LazyGitHub can automatically extract values from GitHub pages and use them in actions. Supported sources include:
  -> Pull request metadata
  -> Branch names
  -> Repository information
  -> Comment content
  -> User-defined regex captures
  -> Runtime user input
  Actions can use these values to build workflow inputs, deployment parameters, comments, dispatch payloads, and more.
  
  • Powerful Configuration System
  LazyGitHub is designed to scale from a few personal shortcuts to complex team-wide automation.
  -> Conditional Logic: Route actions, workflows, and payloads dynamically based on extracted values.
  -> Layered Configuration: Define
       1. Global defaults
       2. Group-level overrides
       3. Repository-specific customisation
  Configurations can inherit, extend, or completely replace behaviour at each level.
  -> Action Groups: Organise related actions into dropdown menus and reusable collections.
  -> Drag-and-Drop Organisation: Reorder actions, groups, repositories, and rules with intuitive drag-and-drop controls.
  
  • Built for Teams
  -> Import and export configurations as JSON
  -> Share automation setups across repositories and teams
  -> Duplicate actions and configurations instantly
  -> Filter actions by repository, author, or page context
  -> Control visibility based on repository state and custom rules
  -> Apply configuration changes instantly with hot reload
  
  • Privacy First: LazyGitHub runs entirely in your browser.
  -> No analytics
  -> No telemetry
  -> No external backend services
  Your data stays local, and communication occurs only with GitHub APIs required to perform the actions you configure.
  
  • Permissions
  1. Storage — Save configuration and authentication settings
  2. Execute GitHub API operations on your behalf
  
  • Getting Started
  1. Install LazyGitHub
  2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token
  3. Connect your GitHub account
  4. Configure actions or import a shared configuration
  
  Start with a few shortcuts, or build a complete automation layer tailored to your team's workflow.

  LazyGitHub: Shortcuts & Automations

  description

  LazyDeploy saves engineers time by eliminating the manual steps between seeing a build version in a GitHub PR comment and
    triggering a deployment.
  
    Once installed, LazyDeploy scans GitHub PR comment threads and automatically injects Build and Deploy buttons next to
    version strings. Click once — the extension reads the version, branch, and deployment profile from the comment and
    dispatches the right GitHub Actions workflow with pre-filled inputs.
  
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    HOW IT WORKS
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    1. Open any GitHub Pull Request
    2. LazyDeploy detects version strings in PR comments
    3. Build and Deploy buttons appear inline next to each version
    4. Click a button — the workflow is dispatched instantly via the GitHub API
  
    No tab switching. No copy-pasting version strings. No manual form filling.
  
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    FEATURES
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    ▸ One-click builds — posts a configurable slash command (e.g. /deploy branch) to trigger a build
    ▸ One-click deploys — dispatches GitHub Actions workflows with version, profile, and PR title pre-filled
    ▸ Smart workflow routing — conditional rules select the right workflow file based on the version string (e.g. hotfix vs.
    regular release)
    ▸ PR state gating — Build button is automatically hidden on merged or closed PRs
    ▸ Repo exclusion — skip button injection on repos matching a pattern (e.g. Helm value repos)
    ▸ Author filtering — show Deploy buttons only on comments from specific users or CI bots
    ▸ Fully configurable — all behaviour is customisable via a JSON config in the settings page, no code changes needed
  
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    PERMISSIONS
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    ▸ storage — to save your GitHub token and configuration locally
    ▸ api.github.com — to dispatch workflows and post comments via the GitHub API
  
    LazyDeploy does not collect analytics, does not phone home, and does not read any data beyond what is visible on the
    current GitHub PR page. Your token is stored locally in Chrome's sync storage.
  
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    SETUP
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    1. Click the LazyDeploy icon in the toolbar to open Settings
    2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token with the `repo` and `workflow` scopes
    3. Paste the token and click Save
    4. Configure your workflow files, button labels, and filters in the JSON config editor
