Celebrate a merged pull request

Two weeks of review comments, three rebases, one flaky test. Then the button turns purple: Merged. That deserves more than closing the tab.

In the browser: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

  1. Add the free Confetti Magic extension to Chrome.
  2. Open its Settings and set the emoji set to Ship it (๐Ÿš€ โœ… ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ฏ).
  3. When the PR merges, press AltShiftE for emoji rain, or AltShiftD for a confetti burst, right on the pull request page.

Everywhere else: VS Code, the terminal, GitHub Desktop

Merging from the command line or your editor? The Windows app plays the same effects over any program, on every monitor. Same shortcuts, no browser needed.

Merging live on a team call

Merging the big one during stand-up or a release call? Share your entire screen in Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, merge, and press the shortcut. With the Windows app, everyone on the call sees it. See confetti on a Teams call for the details.

Does it fire automatically when a PR merges? No. Confetti Magic doesn't connect to GitHub or read your pages; you press the shortcut. That keeps it private, and you choose which wins get the confetti.
