Create and enforce custom rules for your GitHub repositories. Setup custom rules around pull requests, commits and committers for all your Github repositories. For example, you create a rule that says "no direct commits are allowed to the master, develop or production branches". We will monitor all of your repositories for any rules violations from any members on your team. For example, a new member on your development team commits directly to the master branch, we are notified by Github of the violation. You will receive instant, unlimited notifications via Push, Flowdock, Slack and/or Email. You can customize Flowdock notifications for one repo, Slack notifications for another repo, or get all notifications for all repos.

Have you ever clicked on a link and had it open a new tab? This is often caused by links using the 'target=_blank' attribute. Death To _blank fixes this problem by removing the '_blank' attribute from links, meaning that most links will open in the current tab. This extension is a port of 'Death To _blank' for Chrome, and has been developed in collaboration with its author. 'Death To _blank' also removes a few other 'target' values that can cause links to open in new pages (e.g. "blank" and "new").
