You can sort the order of repositories by simply drag&drop.
- Access Token
For all features of this extension to work, you will need to provide an access token from Github. This is not a requirement, but it will make the extension load data about issues and pull requests from your repositories. Please create an access token here https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Github%20sidebar%20browser%20extension to allow this extension to fetch necessary data from Github. The necessary scopes for the token is already selected if you follow the link above. All you need is to press "Generate Token", and copy/paste the token into the extension.
Note: The token is only saved to your browsers local *chrome.storage.local* and only used to communicate with Githubs API.
