UX Enhancer for GitLab

This is not an official GitLab project. It is a browser extension that enhances the GitLab interface.

Maximize productivity and streamline your workflow on GitLab with this browser extension! This powerful extension introduces a suite of features specifically designed to optimize your GitLab interface, making issue tracking and merge request management more efficient and user-friendly.

⚠️ Notice

GitLab is slowly rolling out updates to its UI as part of the "work items" overhaul. Since this extension heavily depends on the DOM, some features might not function properly with the new UI. I only have access to the GitLab version used at our company, so I might not catch every change. I'm working on fixing the broken features one by one and aim to maintain backwards compatibility, though I can't fully verify it.
