🔍 The File Finder Trick

tmmi gives us The File Finder — give it a try!

💬 What tmmi Says

"Back when I started using TextMate, its cmd-T file finder completely changed the way I browse and read code. When I switched to Janus last year, it was only because I found the excellent Command-T plugin for vim. These days, though, I find myself reading most new code in my browser on GitHub. And I really miss cmd-T. So, I did the only thing that made sense: I added cmd-T to GitHub."

⌨️ How to Use the File Finder

  • Shortcut: Press t on any GitHub repository page
  • Function: Instantly search and jump to any file in the codebase
  • Benefit: Browse code as fast as you would in your favorite IDE

This feature transforms how you navigate and explore code repositories directly in your browser!

🚀 Pro Tip: The File Finder is especially powerful for exploring large codebases like ViewTouch — no more endless scrolling through file trees!
