GitHub RichCard

About

GitHub RichCard adds a slide-in sidebar to every GitHub repository page with the
context you actually want when you're sizing up a project: a one-click jump to
DeepWiki, live stats, recent activity, a D3-powered contributor collaboration
graph, and green checkmark badges that highlight the people you already follow.

✦ Features

  • One-click DeepWiki — open the AI-generated wiki for any repo without leaving the page.
  • Repo stats at a glance — stars, forks, open issues, default branch, license,
    primary language, and topic chips, all in the sidebar.
  • Contributor collaboration graph — D3 force-directed visualization of who
    contributes alongside whom across recent commits, click any node to jump to
    that person's profile.
  • Followed-user badges — green checkmark on avatars of people you already
    follow, so you can spot familiar faces in PRs, issues, and contributor lists.
  • Slide-in animation — a tasteful slide-from-right panel that doesn't block
    the page and remembers its position.
  • Private-repo support — uses your existing GitHub session cookie, no token
    setup required.

✦ Privacy

  • All data fetched comes directly from github.com / api.github.com using your
    existing logged-in session. No third-party servers are involved.
  • The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any analytics, telemetry,
    or personal data.
  • Source code is fully open: https://github.com/xinbenlv/github-richcard

✦ Permissions explained

  • storage   — remembers your sidebar preferences (open/closed, last-used tab).
  • activeTab — lets the sidebar inject its UI into the current GitHub page.
  • host_permissions on github.com & api.github.com — required to fetch repo
    metadata and to read your followed-users list. The extension never touches
    any other domain.
