GitHub PR Cleaner

Chrome extension that cleans up noisy GitHub pull request timelines by hiding deployment items, silencing specific users, and removing items matching custom text patterns.

Screenshots

Before	After

Features

• Hide deploy noise — automatically hides timeline items matching deployment patterns
• Silence users — hide all timeline activity from specific users (comments, reviews, inline comments)
• Hide by text — hide timeline items whose text matches a user-managed list of patterns; each entry is a case-insensitive substring or, optionally, a regular expression
• Per-PR or global — mute a user or text pattern on just one PR, or globally across all PRs
• Interactive chip — floating 💬 N 🚫 N 🔍 N counter on the page; click to see a full breakdown
• SPA-aware — works with GitHub's client-side navigation (Turbo), including navigating from the PR list into a PR
• Popup controls — toggle features on/off, manage silenced users and text patterns with per-PR and global options
• Reload prompt — when you un-mute a user or remove a pattern, the popup offers to reload the page to restore hidden content
