)Overview
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. Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab.com and GitLab instances on domain names of the shape gitlab.*.*, and Gitea instances of the shape gitea.*.* are supported out of the box. GitLab and Gitea instances on other domains can be added in the options panel or via the extension pop-up menu. More documentation is available on the website at https://www.softwareheritage.org/browser-extensions/ Version 0.9.0 — Internal rewrite for privacy, reliability and speed - Smaller and faster: the extension bundle is about 80% smaller (jQuery dependency removed, hand-written vanilla JavaScript). - Per forge permission granted by the user, no more <all_urls> permissions.
