Changing my view of Google Code via Greasemonkey

Google, JavaScript, Tech with tags: Add comments

Man I love Greasemonkey. I am a heavy user of Google Code, and there are a few links that I wish were on the site for my use cases. I could bug the team to get these links added, but to begin with, I wanted to add them for myself to see if I really needed them.

I have changed two pages, first the home page:

Greasemonkey: Google Code Home

All I did here was add a link to my open source projects page. Before hand, I would have clicked on Project Hosting and futzed around, or just remembered to type /u/ and gone via history. Now I have a big bold link on the top right thanks to the simple userscript.

Secondly, I have changed the project pages to add:

  • A tab to go directly to the trunk of the Subversion repository for the project. This saves 3 normal clicks
  • A link back to my projects on the top right, for jumping between projects. Ideally, I would change this to have a drop down of the projects.

This simple userscript does the deed.

    I think this is a no brainer for google projects. It drives me crazy that projects I started aren’t right on the home page.

    I think it’s useful when programming with javascript

    Another useful tool for working with Google Code is CodeGoo, a Firefox toolbar.

    I wonder if that toolbar should also provide greasmonkey scripts like these.
