Navigate GitHub repositories with VSCode-like sidebar tree view
Octotree is a powerful browser extension that revolutionizes how developers navigate GitHub repositories. By adding a VSCode-like sidebar tree view to GitHub's interface, Octotree transforms the browsing experience from a series of page loads into a smooth, IDE-like navigation experience.
With over 500,000 active users and a 4.8/5 rating, Octotree has become an essential tool for developers who frequently browse code on GitHub. Whether you're exploring a new library, reviewing pull requests, or researching implementation details, Octotree makes code navigation significantly faster and more intuitive.
The extension brings familiar IDE features to your browser: a collapsible file tree, multiple tab support for viewing different files simultaneously, repository bookmarks for quick access to frequently visited repos, and powerful full-text search that works across entire repositories. These features eliminate the constant back-and-forth clicking that makes GitHub browsing tedious for large projects.
Octotree offers both free and Pro versions. The free version provides the essential tree view functionality for public repositories, while Octotree Pro ($5/month) unlocks private repository support, multiple tabs, bookmarks, and full-text search capabilities—making it invaluable for professional developers working with private codebases.
