github-search-preview

Recreate the search result modal preview feature from grep.app in GitHub!

Tired of browsing GitHub search results and having to "ctrl + click" each individual file and then jump back and forth among so many tabs? With this extension you can preview the full file search result directly in-context in a modal on the GitHub search results page.

Many thanks to refined-github for the bones of this extension 🙏
