Add repo introductions and chapter previews to GitHub repository pages, helping you understand projects faster. GitHub Explainer & Tutorials helps you understand GitHub projects faster by adding useful context directly to repository pages. When you open a supported repository on GitHub, the extension adds two kinds of content: 1. An enhanced introduction near the project overview, so you can quickly understand what the project is about. 2. A chapter preview above the README, so you can immediately start reading a guided explanation instead of searching through external documentation. This is useful when: - You discover a repository for the first time and want to know what it does without spending time digging through files. - A project has a large README, complex setup steps, or unfamiliar terminology. - You want a faster path from “I found this repo” to “I understand how to use it.” Why install it: - It adds context where you already work: directly on GitHub. - It reduces the time needed to evaluate and learn a project. - It gives you a guided entry point before you decide whether to read the full tutorial. - It keeps the original GitHub page intact and only shows extra content when preview data is available. Core features: - Adds repository introductions to supported GitHub project pages - Shows a chapter preview above the README - Lets you open the full tutorial in a new tab - Supports multiple interface languages - Adapts to GitHub light and dark themes If you often browse open-source repositories, evaluate tools, or learn from GitHub projects, this extension gives you a clearer and faster starting point.
