Since this extension fetches data using GitHub public v3 API for showing filesize anddownload_url, it consumes free quota which is very lessGitHub API Rate Limiting.

To tackle this, create a new GitHub Access Token.

1. If logged-in, visithttps://github.com/settings/tokens

2. Generate a new token, selectrepo scope and create a one.

3. Copy and store the generated token which looks something like:17c1a8d5b399d66b6212382d98d4c67a94d58955 (a fake one :P).

4. Click on extension icon and then onSettings-Options on top right.

   OR

   Right-click on enhanced-github extension and click onOptions in the dropdown menu.

   

5. Enter the valid GitHub Access Token

6. Click onSAVE and Enjoy the benefits.

This browser extension will automatically pick this valid access token and Bingo!

• Thanks to@zenorocha forClipboard.js - Modern copy to clipboard. No Flash. Just 3kb gzipped.

3. Go to extension page. For chrome extensions chrome://extensions, Firefox Add-ons about:debugging, and Microsoft Edge Extensions edge://extensions/.
4. Enable developer mode
5. Click on load unpacked extension and select the generated folder.
