Acerca desta extensão

GitHub Enhancer (formerly GitHub Date Enhancer)
Shows exact creation and commit dates alongside relative times on GitHub.
Description:
GitHub Date Enhancer improves your GitHub experience by displaying the full, absolute date (e.g., “Apr 27, 2024”) next to the standard relative time (e.g., “3 days ago”) on issues, pull requests, commits, and other places where GitHub uses <relative-time>. This makes it easier to quickly see the exact date of activity without hovering or guessing.
Dates are shown in a clean, readable format.
Works automatically on all GitHub pages.
No configuration required.
All processing is done locally—no data is sent anywhere.
How it works:
The extension scans GitHub pages for relative time elements and adds the corresponding absolute date next to them. It updates automatically as you navigate or as new content loads.
Permissions:
Requires access to github.com pages to display the enhanced dates.

Comentários do programador

Project Description
I developed this extension to enhance my workflow. Initially, I discovered that unsigned extensions couldn’t be used directly, so I decided to host it online, enabling others to benefit as well.

Motivation
I was often frustrated by the use of relative dates (such as "2 weeks ago") on file listings, as I preferred to see the exact date (for example, "22/07/2024"). This extension addresses that issue by displaying precise dates for uploaded files.

Technical Details
The extension leverages GitHub’s class tags to identify target elements.

It modifies CSS to replace relative timestamps with exact date formats.

The changes are purely CSS-based, resulting in:

No CPU overhead

No performance impact on browsing
