GitHub Issue Link Status Extension

It uses GraphQL to make a single HTTP request to check all the links on a page at once. This means that you'll need to create a API token and add it to the Options page or else the extension will not work.

GitHub Enterprise is also supported. More info in the options.

Emily (ID: 000000bae81dac28) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 Great extension! Love it! Even with the new Github updates, I still keep it installed as they haven't yet implemented it on PRs... But I was still very very appreciative to have this extension whilst Github didn't implement this natively, so thank you very very much!!
