Efficient GitHub Username Mapper for Teams
GitHub Name Mapper is a Chrome extension designed to enhance team collaboration by mapping GitHub usernames to a nickname format. This privacy-friendly tool ensures that all data is stored locally, promoting security and ease of use. Key features include the ability to load developer mapping data from a JSON URL, as well as optional daily auto-updates to keep the information current. Users can also manually add local mapping rules, which take precedence over remote data, providing flexibility in customization.
The extension operates exclusively on GitHub, intelligently identifying usernames for smart replacements. It includes a standalone control panel for configuration, allowing users to preview and search data easily. Additionally, it supports CORS, enabling the loading of JSON from any URL without restrictions. The mention autocomplete feature allows quick referencing of team members by nickname using simple shortcuts, streamlining communication within development teams.
