Follow for Github
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-15.
Makes following repository file movements simple!
Supports private repositories via Chrome Extensions > Follow for Github > Options
This extension will change the View button into Left and Right buttons on Github.com file diffs moves/renames.
Clicking the Left button will move you to the full file as it existed in its previous location in the parent commit. Clicking the Right button does what the old View button did, and moves you to the full file on the current commit.
Open source! See/contribute to the source at http://github.com/staff0rd/github-follow-extension

Very helpful tool to cover for this frustrating limitation from GitHub!
Doesn't seem to work with sub-domains like foobar.github.com, unable to add these via the extension's settings.
Works perfectly after Aug 2021 update!
Does not work.
Love the idea, but I believe it's broken with the new GitHub redesign, as I can't see it here: https://github.com/pol-is/polis/commits/dev/client-participation/js/strings/nl.js (Note that I installed after there design, so I've never seen it truly working yet, and perhaps I've misunderstood something about it :)
INCREDIBLY USEFUL! THANK YOU! note: for private repos must configure with oauth token. This could of been made clearer.
Brilliant little addon for a missing feature in github
Very useful and easy to use.
