-ext suffix
-ext suffix on Chrome extension repo names (oriz-<name>-ext)
-ext suffix
Definition
The -ext suffix is the family naming convention for browser
extension repositories: oriz-<name>-ext (e.g. oriz-foo-ext).
Expanded
The suffix makes extensions immediately distinguishable from sites in
GitHub listings and in the master repo’s submodule tree. Each
extension lives at extensions/<name>/ (the directory drops the
oriz- prefix and -ext suffix because the parent path already
disambiguates) but the underlying repo keeps the full
oriz-<name>-ext name.
Every extension is published to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge stores via its own GitHub Actions workflow.
