Size

A simple yet astonishingly helpful extension for VS Code and GitHub. Particularly useful for building familiarity with new projects.

Usage

Works in all classic scenarios.

What makes it unique is its compatibility with web editors and Remote Repositories.
The main goal was to be able to open any repo in github.dev (hotkey: . on its GitHub page) to get a quick overview of the entire project.

More important files and folders tend to be larger. This way you can get a good heuristic of what the repository is all about without spending time going through the files manually or having to download it. _{should be a github feature tbh}

Features

• Workspace file size tree / list

• Cumulative file count for folders

• Works with remote repositories

• Works in github.dev and vscode.dev (and other code™ editors)

• Exclude paths with regex (via Size: Add ignore pattern command)

• Experimental .gitignore support

• In theory, supports any resource protocol provided by other extensions

Settings

• size.fileSizeLabel - whether to show file size as a label or as a description in the tree view

• size.folderContentCount - adds cumulative file count to folder labels

• size.compactFolders - flatten folders that only contain one folder

Coming soon

Similar explorer for document symbols size (à la document outline view), but count lines instead

Options to view and sort by file change rate, as reported by git log -- (inspired by File Change Count)

Known Issues

Files stored with Git LFS are not counted properly (worth parsing .gitattributes over?)

Enjoy!
