Summary
On GitHub, no matter what kind of file is, their icons are all same. However, in your fancy editor, there are some packages which give every filetype an unique icon.
Therefore, I build a simple extension to replace original file icon with filetype-specific icons. This improves visual recognition on GitHub, GitLab, etc.
Hope you like it!
