button hidden behind the +
sidebar menu:
Could the extension add a Fork
button on the main page of each repository? Perhaps next to the Clone
button:

would like to take this. Is there any platform to have a chat. need to clarify some doubts
I looked into the bitbucket code and had a chat with @reyronald , as bitbucket is using CSS-in-js (styled-components), it would be very un-maintainable to place the fork button on top. As I would be referencing an element using clase name cause I don’t see any other unique attributes to reference, I would break whenever bitbucket is publishing new version of their frontend. I thought of using
display: fixed
then placing the button but it will break too if device size changes.Anyone has any workaround or better idea.
I have made API for checking for source pages and other small things but placing the button is quite difficult in this case
