Github Container Auto Switcher 作者： Smiling Jumbos

The GitHub Container Auto Switcher is designed to ease the use of Firefox Containers with GitHub for privacy-conscious users. It is intended for those GitHub users who prefer to browse public repositories while being logged out to prevent GitHub from tracking their visits.

When accessing a private repository while logged out, GitHub returns a 404 Not Found error. The above said users then have to switch the current tab to a designated GitHub container manually or using an add-on such as Switch Container. This add-on automates this switching if it detects that the private repository is accessible to the logged-in user in the designated GitHub container.

How To Use:

Step 1: Enable Firefox Containers and create a designated container for GitHub at Firefox Settings -> General

Step 2: Logout of GitHub

Step 3: Create a new tab in the designated container and login to GitHub in this container tab

Step 4: Find the add-on in the add-ons list and click on it. Select your designated Firefox container for GitHub.

Step 5: Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with "repo" scope. Ref: GitHub's official documentation.

Step 6: Paste the obtained token (the one that is prefixed with ghp_) in the add-on and click "SAVE".

Step 7: Test the add-on by attempting to browse to a private repository in a non-containerized tab. The add-on should detect the repository being private and should switch the current tab to the designated GitHub container.
