Install the GBTI extension

The extension is how you sign in, edit your work in place, and publish through the co-op. It runs in your browser and keeps your GitHub sign-in on your own machine.

What it does

Three things, once it is installed

Sign in with GitHub

Click the GBTI icon in your toolbar and sign in. Your GitHub credentials stay on your own machine, not on our servers.

Edit in place

Open any page you can edit and change it where it lives. No separate dashboard, no copy-paste between tabs.

Publish through the co-op

Save a draft or publish straight to the network. Your changes go through the same review flow as everyone else.

Install · about a minute

Load it as an unpacked extension

You do this once. The extension keeps working after that. When the Chrome Web Store listing is live, updates become automatic and these steps go away.

1

Download and unzip

Download the ZIP, then unzip it. Keep the unzipped folder somewhere you will not delete it. The browser loads the extension from that folder.

Open the extensions page

In the address bar, type chrome://extensions and press Enter. On Edge it is edge://extensions; on Brave, brave://extensions.

3

Turn on Developer mode

Flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right corner. This is what lets you load an extension from a folder.

Select the unzipped folder

Pick the folder you unzipped in step 1. The GBTI Network extension shows up in your list and its icon appears in the toolbar. That is it.

Your GitHub sign-in stays on your machine

The extension talks to GitHub directly from your browser. We never see or store your token, and you can sign out or remove the extension at any time.

Questions

Good to know

How do I update it?
While it is an unpacked extension, download the latest ZIP, unzip it over the old folder, and click Reload on the extensions page. Once the Chrome Web Store listing is live, updates happen on their own.
Is my GitHub sign-in safe?
Yes. Sign-in happens between your browser and GitHub. Your token is stored locally by the extension and never sent to GBTI servers.
It did not load, what went wrong?
Two things to check: Developer mode needs to be on, and you need to select the unzipped folder, not the ZIP file itself. If the folder has a manifest.json at its top level, you picked the right one.
Do I need to be a member?
The extension is free to install and use. Publishing to the network goes through co-op membership, which is where the review and revenue-share flow lives.

Edit and publish your work in place

Install the free extension, then sign in to start drafting and publishing through the GBTI co-op.

Sign in with the GBTI extension

Signing in and publishing happen through the free GBTI browser extension. It keeps your GitHub sign-in on your own machine and lets you edit and publish in place.

The Chrome Web Store listing is coming soon. For now, the download page walks you through loading it as an unpacked extension.
