Refined GitHub is a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) that enhances the GitHub web interface with over 200 modular features. The system is a content script injected into GitHub pages, managed by a feature lifecycle system (feature-manager.tsx) that uses AbortSignal for cleanup. Features are self-contained .tsx files that observe DOM changes, add event listeners, or inject UI elements via Svelte components or dom-chef JSX. The background script handles messaging, hotfixes, and context menus. The options page allows per-domain feature toggles, token management, and custom CSS. The architecture is highly modular and well-organized, with a strong emphasis on performance and cleanup. While the core functionality is UI enhancement, it also makes extensive use of GitHub's GraphQL API for data fetching, with caching via webext-storage-cache. The codebase demonstrates high craftsmanship with patterns like selector-observer, batched functions, and a unidirectional feature registration pattern. Maintenance is active with daily releases, and technical drift is low due to modern tooling (TypeScript, Svelte 5, Rollup, Vitest).
gh-stack is a GitHub CLI extension for managing stacked pull requests. It allows developers to create a stack of branches, each building on the previous one, and submit them as a chain of PRs. The tool handles rebasing, syncing, pushing, and merging the stack atomically, with both interactive TUI and non-interactive CLI modes. The architecture is a Go CLI built with Cobra, using Bubble Tea for interactive TUI components and lipgloss for styling. Git operations are abstracted behind an interface (internal/git/gitops.go) with mock support for testing. GitHub API integration is handled via go-gh, supporting GraphQL and REST endpoints for PR creation, stack management, and async merge. Local stack state is persisted as a JSON file in the git directory with optimistic concurrency and file locking. Key entry points include main.go calling cmd.Execute(), which registers all subcommands (init, add, submit, sync, rebase, push, merge, checkout, etc.). External dependencies include the GitHub CLI (gh), git, and the GitHub API. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices with extensive test coverage, interface-based mocking, and a modular internal package structure.
