I've recently started live streaming on Twitch. Among other reasons, to show live how I am building www.CodeReviewChecklist.com in a collaborative open source manner and I seem to find myself switching back and forth between a very bright GitHub site and a very dark Visual Studio IDE and am finding the contrast between the two experiences to be a bit jarring. Which made me investigate whether GitHub has a built in dark theme mode.

After some searching I do not believe GitHub to have an 'official' dark mode. I have however found a fantastic alternative using a Chrome extension called.. wait for it.. GitHub Dark Theme.

It feels like a genuinely polished styling extension and according to the Chrome web store has 40,000+ users with an average rating of 4.7/5.

I've installed it and now find GitHub, much easier on the eyes when switching back and forth between it and my Visual Studio IDE dark theme.

And if you are interested in helping build www.CodeReviewChecklist.com, I encourage you to checkout the CodeReviewChecklist GitHub repository and pick up an issue or two.

PS. I recently learnt that GitHub also have a mobile app. I've tried it and it is awesome. I thoroughly recommend it.
