Gitpod Team Helper Extension

What is it?

An unofficial Chrome/Brave extension to make administering Gitpod Teams easier, which can either be obtained from the Chrome Web Store here or sideloaded.

Firstly, it adds text to the Manage Teams modal so that it lists the total active and total inactive users.

Secondly, it highlights inactive users in green, making them easier to see as you scroll.

Screenie

Why?

Well, we like Gitpod, but as Teams get larger, they get more difficult to manage. This extension just makes the UI a bit more helpful for team administration.

It's not working!

Oh no! Sorry about that. Please feel free to open an issue at the GitHub repo, and I'll investigate it. If you know the fix already, please feel free to fix the code and issue a Pull Request.

Please note that the extension is provided "as-is". No warranty or guarantee regarding suitability or compatibility is given. Use it at your own risk!

Sideloading

If you want to sideload the extension, then do the following:

  1. Download the repo as a zip file and extract it
  2. Delete the _config.yml file, which is for GitHub's theme
  3. Go to Chrome/Brave's extensions management page
  4. Switch on Development Mode
  5. Click on Load Unpacked
  6. Browse to the extracted extension folder and load it

Privacy & Security

The extension only works on the gitpod.io/teams page. It only stores enabled/disabled data - nothing else. It's as safe as houses.

Todo

Add the option to hide and reveal active users, which I think would make it more useful, but that's for a bit later.

Can I contribute?

You betcha! Make your wondrous changes and submit a PR and I will be eternally grateful until I forget.
