- (2023-11-07) Tech Stuff: It's just really handy
- (2023-11-01) Luca Bertagna: Vast amount of features, greatly improve productivity for people who spend big chunks of their day on github. Also, very large community, very frequent updates, and very fast bug fixes.
- (2023-09-09) __: Thanks you for this tool, changes made are so good that they directly contribute to the good ergonomy of GitHub. Even some changes are not feels made by a extension to say how good they are.
- (2023-09-07) Ezra Ashenafi: Awesome work, super useful to get rid of little annoyances
- (2023-07-25) Yury Ershov: Doesn't work for me at all. In the console I see a bunch of errors from the extension.
- (2023-06-05) Bruce Wang: can't live without Refined Github
- (2023-05-30) swyx: should be part of official github
- (2023-04-07) Vinny H (Vinnyface): Yayy daddy!
- (2023-03-18) Lindsey Howard: This is such a cool extension and after I found it, I couldn't go without it. So many features and settings to make my Github the way I need it. :) highly recommend!
- (2023-03-13) Lynxdeer Gaming: Great extension! Usually the only feature I need to use is the directory downloader, but it's still a really great extension with many convenient features.
- (2023-02-25) Alex: Very nice collection of useful github extensions! great work! :)
- (2023-01-15) Thuận Phạm Tiến: good
- (2023-01-10) Samuel Therrien: Does slow things down, you'll *want* to go through the options and disable what you don't want/need. Otherwise great and adds a lot of useful features and QoL improvements.
- (2022-12-17) Google User: I just wanted an extension that allows me to simply download Github files. This is NOT it.
- (2022-12-14) Shaun Hamilton: It was "OK". The settings UI is developer-friendly, and, on first look, it appears feature-rich. However, the main reason I downloaded this is I assumed it would help me select + sort + filter GitHub notifications. This does not have much in the way of doing so. Also, I agree with the sentiment about too many "breaking" defaults in the settings. **Minor Bugs** 1) When I have 400+ notifications, and I want to select all closed/merged to mark as done, I expected to be able to mark ALL matching the criteria. However, only those matching the criteria on the current page (25 notifications max) are selectable. 2) The default behaviour makes using the canned replies difficult when reviewing a PR. Specifically, the "review" window is too small (and does not resize) to display the canned replies when that button is clicked.

- (2022-10-08) Moheshwar Amarnath Biswas: awesome
- (2022-09-17) Torben D.: perfect work love it
- (2022-08-30) Ethan Glover: Will automatically delete branches after PR as a default. This is a dangerous precedent that the maintainers insist is sensible.
- (2022-08-22) Ian Edington: I've been using this for years! It's an amazing tool. I came on to write this review because I saw that some other git extension has more ratings (not a higher rating) and I figured I should add my thumbs up to something I've relied on for SOOO long! I love you Sindre Sorhus, and everyone else who works on this extension!!!
- (2022-01-31) Julian Gilyadov: Makes Chrome extremely slow, especially when many Github tabs are open. I had to disable it.
- (2022-01-12) Or Ben-Moshe (Araxeus): Very good
- (2021-12-21) Dean Aussie: Breaks the main page for a logged in user (https://github.com/), activity list does not load. Otherwise it is great.
- (2021-11-16) Laurent: Feels buggy and does too much by default. For example, the last updated time on issue randomly doesn't show up half of the time; the "Bugs" tab doesn't do anything. Also it changes the review button colours for no good reason in my opinion. All this can probably be tweaked in the settings, but overall GitHub is not really improved by this extension.
- (2021-08-27) Anne N: This extension is fantastic, it makes things look so much better. I'd forgotten how much worse the original UI was until I had to swap to a computer that didn't have it installed. How Github thought add ing a + and - sign next to every line in PR reviews was a good idea I'll never understand, it's nice having them removed.
- (2021-07-12) Mawoka: Makes GitHub even better!
- (2021-06-30) Janusz “Ivellios” Kamieński: Really improves experience of using Github!
- (2021-04-07) Ian Cleary: Awesome! I recommend it
- (2021-03-30) Ambroise Dhenain: From today, it's hiding the repository nav bar for some reason, it was working very well until then. I had to disable it because I can't navigate anymore. Please fix! <3 Edit: Fixed within 10h, see https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/4166#issuecomment-809861125
- (2021-03-30) Yohei Maeda: dope

- (2019-05-31) Jonathan Leitschuh: This plugin is awesome. Makes working with GitHub on a daily basis so much better. I wish GitHub offered many of these features by default!!!

- (2019-03-10) Stephen Mason: Super helpful!
- (2018-12-14) yung Assassinn: good dope

- (2018-07-14) Niklas Higi: Excellent extension! Tremendously improves the GitHub user experience with many small, productivity-enhancing tweaks.
