Git Live File Viewer

About

Transform any GitHub file view into a real-time, auto-updating presentation monitor.

Git Live File Viewer is a lightweight, zero-dependency Chrome extension designed to eliminate the need to constantly refresh your browser during live coding sessions, presentations, or collaborative debugging. It seamlessly overlays a beautifully formatted, auto-syncing code viewer directly on top of GitHub's native interface.

Whether you are a technical trainer demonstrating line-by-line architecture in a bootcamp, a developer monitoring a rapidly updating configuration file, or a mentor keeping students in sync with your latest commits, this tool ensures your audience always sees the absolute latest code.

Core Features:

⚡ Configurable Auto-Sync: Set global polling intervals—from an aggressive 3 seconds to a relaxed 10 seconds—or rely on manual mode.

🎯 Smart Repository Scoping: Keep your daily browsing clean. Define specific wildcard URL patterns (e.g., https://github.com/your-org/workshop-repo/*) so the extension only activates exactly where you need it.

🛡️ Bulletproof Cache Bypassing: Built to gracefully bypass aggressive CDN caching. It natively parses GitHub's DOM to guarantee the code on your screen matches the absolute latest remote commit.

💻 Presenter-Ready UI: Features an unobtrusive, draggable 'Live Watch' badge that expands into a sleek, dark-themed, full-screen overlay complete with Prism.js syntax highlighting.

🎛️ On-the-Fly Controls: Mid-presentation and need to pause the feed to explain a complex concept? Use the contextual toolbar to override the global sync speed on a per-tab basis without ever leaving the page.

📋 One-Click Copy: Easily grab the latest synced code to your clipboard with a single click.

Privacy & Security First:
Git Live File Viewer runs entirely locally within your browser. It uses your existing, secure GitHub session to fetch data, does not inject external APIs, and never tracks, stores, or transmits your code to third-party servers.
