GitLab: highlight comments that mention you

Highlights comments and notes where someone mentioned your username so you do not miss them.

Code to copy

// Highlight comments and notes that mention you by username
const ME = (document.querySelector('meta[name="current-username"]') || {}).content || '';
function markMentions() {
  if (!ME) { return; }
  document.querySelectorAll('.note-text a.gfm-project_member, .md a.gfm-project_member')
    .forEach(function (link) {
      if (link.textContent.replace('@', '').trim() === ME) {
        const note = link.closest('.note, .timeline-entry');
        if (note) { note.style.background = 'rgba(255, 211, 61, 0.18)'; }
      }
    });
}
markMentions();
const obs = new MutationObserver(markMentions);
obs.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
