MergeTip

Browser extension

Adds ⚡ Tip buttons on GitHub pull requests and issues: next to the title for the author, and next to each commenter and reviewer. Pick an amount, and it posts the /tip comment for you.

It isn't in the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons yet, so it's installed by hand. It takes about a minute. All files and checksums are on the release page.

Chrome, Brave, Edge and other Chromium browsers

  1. Download the zip below and unzip it.
  2. Open chrome://extensions (Brave: brave://extensions, Edge: edge://extensions).
  3. Turn on Developer mode.
  4. Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.

Keep the folder: the browser loads the extension from it.

Firefox

  1. Download the zip below (don't unzip it).
  2. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
  3. Click Load Temporary Add-on… and choose the zip.

Firefox removes it when it restarts; load it again afterwards.

Connect it to your account

  1. Open any pull request or issue on github.com and click a ⚡ Tip button.
  2. Click Connect MergeTip, sign in with GitHub if asked, and approve on the page that opens.
  3. Click ⚡ Tip again and send your first tip.

The extension can post tips and read your limits. It never sees your wallet connection and can't confirm large tips. Disconnect it from its popup; deleting your MergeTip account revokes it.
