🔑 Personal Access Token (PAT)

• Without a PAT, only $60$ requests per hour are allowed, and GitHub Plus won't be able to fetch extended information for private repos; with a PAT, $5000$ requests per hour are allowed, which suffices for most users, and GitHub Plus can also fetch extended information for private repos that you have access to.
• Find out how to create a fine-grained personal access token here.
• Simply select All repositories under Repository access section, and add read-only Metadata access under Permissions section. An example image is shown below for reference.
• Remember to generate a new token when it expires.
• Use a personal access token on a mirror site at your own risk.

❓ FAQ

• Q: Even when ↗️ Right Sidebar is not set to Hide Completely, the sidebar is still hidden. How can I fix this?
  • A: Your ad-blocker or some other extension might be blocking the elements. Most notably, this commit to easylist has introduced the rule github.com##.dashboard-changelog:has-text(Latest from our changelog), which blocks the whole section. You can try to disable the ad-blocker on GitHub or add an exception for this rule.

🤔 Known Issues

• The added information might not align well.
• You might see a "Error Looks like something went wrong!" banner if "Tracking Prevention" is enabled.
