GitHub Project Status Viewer

About

Seamlessly integrate GitHub Projects status into your issue management workflow. This extension automatically displays color-coded status badges directly in your repository's issue list, eliminating the need to open individual issues or navigate to project boards.

🎯 KEY FEATURES

- Automatic Status Display - Status badges appear instantly next to each issue title
- GitHub Projects V2 Support - Works with the latest GitHub Projects interface
- Accurate Color Matching - Badges use the exact colors from your project's status field configuration
- One-Click OAuth Login - No manual token creation or management required
- Secure Authentication - Access tokens stored in session storage, automatically deleted when you close the browser
- Private Repository Support - Works with both public and private repositories (with proper authorization)
- Zero Configuration - Just install, login, and it works automatically

🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY

Your data security is our priority:
- OAuth authentication eliminates the need for personal access tokens
- Access tokens are stored in session storage only (cleared when browser closes)
- OAuth client secret never exposed to your browser (server-side only)
- Automatic token refresh - no manual re-authentication needed
- Minimal permissions - only requests read:project and repo access
- No data collection or tracking
