Since this extension fetches data using GitHub public v3 API for showing file size and download_url, it consumes free quota which is very less GitHub API Rate Limiting.
To tackle this, create a new GitHub Access Token.
-
If logged-in, visit https://github.com/settings/tokens
-
Generate a new token, select
repo
scope and create a one. -
Copy and store the generated token which looks something like:
17c1a8d5b399d66b6212382d98d4c67a94d58955
(a fake one :P). -
Click on extension icon and then on
Settings-Options
on top right.OR
Right-click on enhanced-github extension and click on
Options
in the dropdown menu. -
Enter the valid GitHub Access Token
-
Click on
SAVE
and Enjoy the benefits.
This browser extension will automatically pick this valid access token and Bingo!
