Extension Metadata

About this extension
🚀 Open in Colab for GitHub & Gist makes working with Jupyter Notebooks on GitHub seamless, fast, and effortless.

Whenever you browse any Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) file on a GitHub repository or GitHub Gist, this extension automatically injects a sleek, native "Open in Colab" button right into the file header. Click the button to launch the notebook instantly in Google Colab—no more manual URL copying or editing!

✨ KEY FEATURES:

• 🎯 Double-Lock Verification: Strict detection ensures buttons ONLY appear on genuine Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb). Never clutters Python scripts (.py), Markdown (.md), text files, directory views, commits, or PRs.
• 📑 Multi-File Gist Support: Accurately detects and injects buttons only into the specific .ipynb cards within multi-file Gists.
• 🎨 Native GitHub Primer UI: Styled using GitHub’s official Primer design system and SVG icons. Adapts seamlessly to Light Default, Dark Default, Dark Dimmed, and Dark High Contrast themes.
• ⚡ Fast SPA Navigation: Fully compatible with GitHub's Turbo, PJAX, and dynamic React Blob view page transitions. Buttons load instantly and clean up automatically when navigating away.
• 🔍 Interactive Popup Tool: Click the extension icon in your toolbar to inspect the current tab, verify notebook status, and launch Google Colab with one click.

🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY FIRST:
• 100% Client-Side: Runs entirely in your browser.
• Zero Data Collection: No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking.
• Minimal Permissions: Requires only standard tab access and matches for github.com / gist.github.com to function. No background storage overhead.

💡 HOW TO USE:
1. Navigate to any GitHub repository or Gist containing a .ipynb notebook.
2. Look for the "Open in Colab" button in the file action bar.
3. Click to open and run the notebook directly in Google Colab!

Created with ❤ for data scientists, ML engineers, researchers, and developers.
