How to use the extension on a Git repo -

Now that you have added the Metamorph extension, you can directly start using it without the need to create an account. That's the beauty of it!

In the sections below, you will learn how to use the extension on public (A) and private (B) repositories. Note. The Metamorph browser extension does not store or collect your code or data - it's a privacy-first extension.

 

The Metamorph extension can be used on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket!
