Refined-github: Expand diffs in either direction
One thing that has always irked me about Github is that even though the diff expand button looks omnidirectional:
It actually only expands the bottom chunk upward.
There is literally no way to expand the top chunk downward if, for example, I wanted to see lines 27 and up. This is especially annoying when there are gaps of hundreds of lines in between the chunks.
I'd love a way to expand from either end, possibly by splitting the expand button into two separate buttons that each indicate which side they expand.

It was a pain, but I figured out how to modify the expand button data-url in this userscript. Hopefully, I added enough comments to make it easy to add to this extension.

Great job, Mottie! Given the complexity I'd leave it as a userscript instead of copying it to Refined GitHub.

@Mottie I'm thinking about merging some of your userscripts (like this one) into Refined GitHub via npm/github/require. What do you think about it? Are you open to the idea?

Sure, go for it!

That's been finally implemented by GitHub: https://twitter.com/github/status/1090684311492165632
This issue can be closed.

Neat! We probably need to update the code we use to make the whole line clickable
