UpdateSWH

Check archival state of a source code repository and propose to update it if needed.

This extension checks if a software development repository visited by the user in a supported code hosting platform is archived and uptodate in Software Heritage. A color button on the right of the browser indicates if it is uptodate (green), in which case clicking on the button opens a tab on the corresponding page of the archive, missing (grey) or not up to date (yellow), in which case clicking on the button triggers a save code now request, and optionally shows the save request submitted to the Software Heritage archive. A red color indicates that the API request of information for the repository did not succeed: this happens typically when one is visiting a repository that is not publicly accessible, and that naturally cannot be archived. It works on GitHub, GitLab.com and Bitbucket, and on a set of public instances of other forge technologies listed on the options page. Other instances can be added there. Access to each forge is asked for when it is first needed, not at install: the options page opens on first install and grants access to all built-in forges with one button. More documentation is available on the website at https://www.softwareheritage.org/browser-extensions/ Version 0.9.3 -- custom GitLab and Gitea instances work again in Firefox; right click on the light green button opens the last archived copy while a new archival is in progress
