Stephen Doherty (ID: 000000daccb076f4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2023 You give the extension a GitHub personal token so it can scape the GitHub projects you are currently viewing and at the top of the project view next to "insights" it displays the full size of the cloneable code package in bytes. Works as intended, two piece signs up!

pr (ID: 0000001b83b69223) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/16/2023 Great and useful extension, as advertised. Does not work when viewing a folder with GitHub's new file view. Root repository still works
