Mark GitHub notifications as read

I've needed to do this several times to combat "ghost" notifications. These occur when a discussion is created and then deleted (e.g. for spam) before the notofication is read. You may see something like "1-0 of 4" at the bottom of the notifications page.

You can use the GitHub API client to show these notifications:

gh api notifications

To mark all notifications as read, send the API request below with curl. (Update the last_read date as needed.)

Custom Firefox colors

A quick guide on color-coding multiple Firefox profiles.

  1. Open about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to True.
  2. Within the Firefox profile directory, create a new directory named chrome.
  3. Within the chrome directory, create userChrome.css with the following content:
#tabbrowser-tabs {
    background-color: $COLOR !important;
}
