Browse files of GitHub repositories comfortably

The post Browse files of GitHub repositories comfortably appeared first on BardTech.

Insight.io for Github is a browser extension for the Google Chrome web browser that adds a directory tree structure to Github repositories to browse all files of the repository comfortably.

Browsing repositories on GitHub is not the most pleasant experience that you can have; you can only select one directory to open to display the file it contains. The loading takes a bit of time and going back to open another directory takes time as well.

Also, this is quite bad for keeping an overview of the files of the project. While you can download the repository to your system or use GitHub’s desktop application , it is not always the best course of action especially if you are just interested in a couple of files (to download or check).

Tip: The Ghacks user.js for Firefox is on GitHub . If you download a lot, check out GitHub Plus for Chrome .

Insight.io for Github

github browse tree directory files

Insight.io for Github is a Chrome extension that adds an option to GitHub to display all folders and files in a tree directory structure.

One of the main advantages of the tree structure is that switching between different folders is near instant as there is virtually no delay when you do so. It is a lot easier to open a folder, switch to another one that is on the root level, or dive deep into a folder without having to wait whenever you switch to a different folder or need to go back.

The extension displays an icon on GitHub that you can click on to toggle the directory structure. It displays the root level by default but you can click on any folder to browse it. Each folder lists subfolders and files it contains.

Any directory change made using the default browser is reflected automatically in the directory tree.

A click on a file opens it directly on the site. GitHub jumps to the file and displays it in its main interface so that you can check out code, download it, or manage it in other ways depending on your access rights.

The extension adds a handful of keyboard shortcuts that power its functionality. Use Windows-Shift-B (Command-Shift-F on Mac) to toggle the directory structure. You can change shortcuts in the options to something that you may prefer. Options to use and set shortcuts to hide the entire structure and to toggle the Settings are provided as well.

Note that you do need to provide a personal access token to access private repositories using the extension.

Closing Words

You may find the extension for Chrome useful if you browse files and folders regularly on GitHub as it provides a better overview of the structure, supports faster changing of folders and faster loading of individual files on GitHub.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves. Specifically, we want to know what the best IPTV apps on Android are. 1. Lazy IPTV Our first pick is Lazy IPTV. It supports M3U playlists in open-view, ZIP, and GZ formats. The app can also read pl...
