Lately I have been following jQuery commits on github . If I look at a commit which fixes a bug then I would like to go and see the bug description. In order to do that I need to type url which would be something like this http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/6084 .

I wrote a chrome extension which would add a link to the bug at the end of commit message.

Install the extension and try it

The extension is available here . After installing the extension visit this page and you should see a link at the end of commit message.

Developing the extension and packaging it

Developing an extension on google chrome is very simple.

1. git clone the source code of my extension or create file structure similar to this .
2. Zip the folder contents and create jQueryBugLink.zip .
3. Visit chrome.google.com/extensions and click on publish your extensions.
4. Upload the zip file and publish your extension .

That’s it.
