Chrome extension

Chat about a repo, right on its GitHub page

A side panel for talking with your collaborators, without leaving GitHub — same access rules as the repo itself, nothing extra to configure.

Built to disappear into GitHub

A tab, right where you'd expect it

GitChat shows up next to Issues and Pull requests on any repo you already have access to — no separate app to remember.

Rich cards, not bare links

Paste an issue, a pull request, a commit, or a profile — it renders as a card with the real title, status, and stats, right in the chat.

Same access rules as GitHub

If you can see the repo, you can chat about it with anyone else who already has access — nothing to invite, nothing to configure.

Every link becomes context

Pull requests, commits, and profiles resolve into cards automatically — the conversation stays readable even weeks later.

Add it to Chrome and open a repo

The tab appears automatically on the next GitHub page you visit.
