Description

Do you simply *need* GIFs to express yourself in GitHub? All those pull requests, code reviews, issues, and comments... wouldn't life be easier if you could just search and add a GIF in the click of a button? Well, look no further. Now you can search GIPHY straight from any comment box in GitHub, and add a GIF to your wordy masterpiece in a matter of seconds. No more trying to find a GIF that's under 10MB, no more manual tab opening and searching, no more writing your own markdown — just living your best GIF life. How does it work? - Click the GIF button in the top right of your comment box - A GIPHY dropdown will appear on-screen so you can search for your purrfect GIF - Select your GIF, and it will appear wherever your cursor is in the text box - You're done!

Really enjoyed this extension. Though new Github UI doesn't look great as it cuts off the first row of gifs. I'm using it in combination with Refined Github.

I do not see the Gif button... Tried to insert in my README.md after installation of git extension. https://github.com/EvaMalinina/todo-list-react-hooks/blob/main/README.md

This had a 5 star from me until it stopped working. It doesn't show the GIF button anymore. Once this is fixed, I'll bump it back up to 5 stars.

Love this extension, but it's stopped working off late.
