How this works

With the GitHub API:

get PR merged commit hash → compare target branch HEAD ... commit → get status

nixpkgs-tracker is not the same as nixpk.gs/pr-tracker: it does not proxy any requests through a server to get PR status.

Therefore, there is no server-side performance bottleneck — all requests go directly from your browser to the GitHub API.

You can get static files with:

nix build github:ocfox/nixpkgs-tracker

Features

• Show PR status
• Stable link (e.g. https://nixpkgs-tracker.ocfox.me/?pr=512987)
• Auto-check PR from the URL on load
• GitHub token for a higher request limit (optional, stored in localStorage)
• Check multiple branches at the same time
• Copy result card as an image
