This repository contains JavaScript for a dynamically generated file explorer for any GitHub repository.
Essentially, this script produces an unordered list of all folders and files in a given GitHub repository. Files automatically have their GitHub blob links attached to them. Folders support different icons for being ‘open’ (displaying their contents) and ‘closed’. Adding specific icons for any file extensions is supported through CSS without the need for modifying the script itself.
Import the script using the standard
.file-extension a::before {
background-image: url(/your/image/path/here);
}
A sample of this script can be found in the index.html file that uses this repository as an example. You can view this example as a website here.
