# About

GitHub Writer is a WYSIWYG rich-text editor for GitHub. The extension is available when creating or commenting on issues, reviews, pull requests, and wikis.

It provides all the features available in the GitHub plain-text editor, including Markdown input. For features like tables, it offers a much easier experience in comparison to plain-text Markdown and allows users to be more productive. No more switching to the Preview tab to see what you write!

It is powered by CKEditor 5, a modern JavaScript rich-text editor.

GitHub Writer is an Open Source project and your questions, feedback and contributions are always welcome.

User reviews

Justin Goldberg (ID: 0000001fee2c881e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/13/2023 Great extension! A WYSIWYG editor like this is needed for ALL web sites with comment input fields, if there is a way to detect if a website supports markdown input. Or perhaps the user could manage the allow list, like great suspender does.

Ahmet Alp Balkan (ID: 0000002ff44f2202) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 Really would like to have

macro, too.

Marcin Wisnicki (ID: 00000063c304e63b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/12/2023 Doesn't work on Wiki pages

쿠아 (ID: 00000089fcd3d86e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/22/2023 If you use this, the "Generate release notes" button disappears from the release.

Justice Conder (ID: 0000004ef92faaba) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/12/2023 I really love this but it has stopped worked for me now.
