Follow file renames #998

Any feedback on how to use this? Do I need to compile something into the extension?

No this should be working. Do you have an example where this is not working?

I've got the extension installed, but when I'm looking at the file through GitHub, I can't seem to find the old history (I assume, it would be found by clicking on the History link for the file?)

Yes it would be under history. If a file is rename the "next" button will lead you to the renamed file

Strange. The button isn't showing up for me. Do you have a screenshot you could show me that shows where it would be?

What page are you looking at?

A page like the following: https://github.com/onassar/repo-name/commits/branch-name/path/to/file.css

Do you have an actual link I can test on?

It's in a private repo unfort. Do you have a public link that's working for you? I can try it out and confirm

(make sure your have a personal GitHub token set in the extensions options)

Ahh okay that's required? I tried to read through things and assumed the token wasn't required for that to work.

For any api interaction on a private repo you will need a token

Okay thanks. Which specific permissions are required for that feature?

The repo

Sorry to be pedantic, but which settings in repo? I don't want to grand the extension more settings than it needs. Does it need all of them?

If you want to use it in a private repo, repo is the only scope you need. Unfortunately repo includes everything else under it.

For public repositories you probably don't need any scopes since the token already allows read-only access to all public repositories.

Okay gr8 thanks.
