Gitako - GitHub file tree

File tree for GitHub, and more than that.

Gitako is a powerful Chrome extension enhancing GitHub by adding a versatile file tree for repositories, commits, and pull requests. It enables instant file search and smooth navigation, increasing productivity especially for large projects.

Supporting private repositories, GitHub Enterprise, Gitea, Gitee, and submodules, Gitako remains performant while providing useful features like keyboard navigation, snippet copying, code folding, and customizable icons/themes. Privacy-focused, it only uses tokens for authentication and securely stores them, ensuring users’ data stays safe.

User reviews

Gitako is widely praised as a free, open source, and efficient Chrome extension improving GitHub's code navigation. Users appreciate its fast, clean interface and powerful file tree, considering it superior to Octotree and essential for meaningful code reviews. However, some common issues include bugs in file searching, UI responsiveness, trouble handling large pull requests, and occasional UI disappearance. Despite these, the extension is highly recommended and appreciated for enhancing GitHub usability and supporting various user needs.
Pros
  • Great alternative to Octotree with a simple, clean, and fast user interface.
  • Open source, free, and supports Chinese users well.
  • Significantly improves navigation and code review experience on GitHub, especially for large file sets.
  • Provides useful features like recursive expand and file tree view that GitHub's native interface lacks or had not provided for a long time.
  • Easy to set up, works well with both public and private repositories (with token).
Cons
  • Some bugs persist like inaccurate file name search and UI lag when pages change.
  • The extension sometimes fails to handle large pull requests with many files, getting stuck at "Fetching File List...".
  • Auto expand option not working on GitHub pull request files pages in some cases.
  • UI might disappear when page content changes, indicating UI stability issues.
  • Users report uncertainty about caching of file trees, possibly leading to slow or inconsistent performance.
