Material Icons for GitHub

Replace the file/folder icons on the GitHub file browser with icons representing the file's type and which tool it is used by.

What is Material Icons for GitHub?

'Material Icons for GitHub' is a useful Chrome extension that enhances your experience on GitHub by replacing the default folder and file icons with the visually-appealing Material Icon Theme icons used by Visual Studio Code. This not only enhances the aesthetics of your file browsing on GitHub but also helps in recognising file types and associated tools more intuitively. Leveraging the power of open-source, it pulls icon resources directly from the VS Code extension repository. It's not only limited to GitHub but can also be used on other popular source control platforms.
