GitHub Snooze is a free Chrome extension developed by NearForm. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension allows users to receive notifications when there are updates to GitHub Issues or Pull Requests.

The main purpose of GitHub Snooze is to provide users with the ability to snooze GitHub Issues or Pull Requests. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to track the progress of a specific issue or pull request and be notified if there has been no update within a specified time period. By setting up a snooze timer, users can ensure that they are alerted after a certain number of hours if there has been no activity on the issue or pull request.

GitHub Snooze offers a functionality that is similar to snooze features found in other applications like Slack. To use the extension, users need to create a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the "repo" and "read:user" scopes.

Overall, GitHub Snooze is a valuable tool for GitHub users who want to stay updated on the progress of their issues and pull requests. With its simple and intuitive interface, it provides an efficient way to manage notifications and ensure timely follow-up on important elements.
