What is GitHub Canned Responses?
GitHub Canned Responses is a Firefox add-on that allows you to choose from a set of pre-defined responses when commenting on your GitHub Pull Requests or issues. It helps streamline the process and makes it more efficient by eliminating the need for repetitive typing or copying-pasting. You can also customize and add your own canned responses as per your requirements.

Summary

Sometimes you've made mistakes and you have to triage 700 GitHub issues and Pull Requests. A lot of them will need the same answer, and your wrists will start hurting from all the switch-to-edit-copy-pasting. This extension helps with that.

The extension adds a little "canned response" button inside the comment editing view, that allows you to filter through existing canned responses and add them to the comment. It comes with a few default canned responses, but you can edit them and add your own!
