This tutorial explains how to see most liked comment on any GitHub issue. With just a single click, you can jump to that particular comment which has received the most likes on a GitHub issue. This is helpful when the list of comments is huge. Although you can manually scroll down the list of comments under a particular issue and check which comment gets the most likes, this is not a good idea when tons of comments are there.
To see most liked comment on a GitHub issue, you need to use Chrome browser and a free extension, known as “Github Notable Comments“. This extension, after installation, provides a reaction sidebar that will appear on each GitHub issue you visit. Using that sidebar, you can navigate to the most liked comment with a single click.
In the recording above, you can see that I was able to access the most liked comment with the help of this Chrome extension. Apart from that, this Chrome extension is also helpful to view a comment with most hearts, dislikes, most reacted comment, etc. You may use other options also. This tutorial has covered only most liked part of the extension.

Step 1: Use the link available at the end of this tutorial. It will open the extension homepage and then you can install it.
