The browser extension for gitpod.io. Works with Chrome and Firefox.

Gitpod Browser extension

This is the browser extension for Gitpod. It supports Chrome (see Chrome Web Store), Firefox (see Firefox Add-ons) and Edge (see how to install Chrome extensions), and adds a Gitpod button to the configured GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket installations (defaults to gitlab.com, github.com, bitbucket.org, and gitlab.cn) which immediately creates a Gitpod workspace for the current Git context:

Build

Chrome & Firefox

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Safari

⚠️ A machine running macOS and Xcode 12+ installed is required!

First, run the following to install dependencies and build the web extension:

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Then run the build:safari command to build the Safari extension around the web extension:

yarn build:safari

Hit enter when presented with this screen.

Xcode will open the Gitpod.xcodeproj automatically if it's installed.

Test

Build the extension and

• unzip gitpod.xpi and load it as “unpackaged extension” (Chrome) or
• load gitpod.xpi as “temporary add-on” (Firefox) or
• open Gitpod/Gitpod.xcodeproj and run the project with cmd + r. ⚠️ Safari must have Allow Unsigned Extensions enabled.

The extension is active until the next restart of your browser.

Publishing

• Chrome: Users that are member of the Google group gitpod-browser-extension are allowed to update new versions in the Chrome Webstore Developer Dashboard.
• Firefox: Login at https://addons.mozilla.org/ with user info@gitpod.io.
