I built this to scratch my own itch, as somebody who frequently reads GitHub code and feels annoyed having to click countless of links to navigate through a large project. Hope it is useful for other people too.

Mad props. Any chance of a Safari port? Its extension system is not very different from Chrome's. EDIT: and you shouldn't be shy to plug your gittip page: https://www.gittip.com/buunguyen/

Thanks. You're right, Safari port shouldn't require much change. Let me nail the Chrome version first, there are a number of issues reported in the project page that I want to take a look.

Also thanks for featuring my gittip page, I almost forgot I had one.

Here's a Safari version: https://github.com/xdissent/octotree/releases/tag/v1.0.0-saf...

You can find both Firefox and Safari prebuilt packages here: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/tree/master/dist.

Lovely, it works great :)

OMG thank you! I have so many cloned repos somewhere on my disk, just to browse the code. Now it's time to implement super-fast-github-git-grep.js --- my productivity will explode.

I would put $5 toward a github public repo grep

And very well scratched sir. I enjoy flitting about github repo's and it's a pain to have to pull every repo I want to have a gander at.

This will save countless electrons that might otherwise have been displaced while opening many new tabs to view the source files.

You are super awesome, I'm poor but somebody should throw money at you.

you are amazing!
