Material Icons for GitHub is a Chrome extension that replaces default file and folder icons in the file browsers of popular websites like GitHub, Azure, and Bitbucket with Material Icon Theme icons from Visual Studio Code. By using these familiar icons, users can quickly identify file types, configuration files, and project scaffolding at a glance, creating a seamless visual experience between their code editor and online repositories.

This extension sources its icon replacements directly from the open-source VSCode Material Icon Theme project, ensuring consistent and recognizable visuals. It's not affiliated with GitHub but offers a useful enhancement for developers who want more intuitive file browsing on their favorite code hosting platforms. For support or bug reports, users can visit the GitHub repository linked via the extension.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Material Icons for GitHub requires very minimum permissions.
