A simple yet astonishingly useful utility for VS Code and GitHub.
Motivation
Files and folders that are more important tend to be larger in size. You can get a good heuristic of what the repository is mostly about just by its allometrics.
This extension is compatible with (but not limited to) Remote Repositories and web builds of vscode.
The original purpose was the ability to open any repository in github.dev (hotkey: . on the repos page) to get a quick overview of the entire project in mere seconds.
should be a github feature tbh
Features
File system tree view, with file sizes and file count cumulative for all folders
Flattened file list view, or grouped by file extension
Powerful select / filter system
Select files, folders and extensions to omit, exclude paths with regex, blacklist them, whitelist them, store and load from JSON, or never touch this feature, doesn't matter, it's there and it's extremely convienient
Works with remote repositories
Works in browser github.dev and vscode.dev (and other codium editors)
In theory, supports any resource protocol / virtual file system provided by other extensions
Settings
size.folderContentCount - toggle file count for folders
size.compactFolders - flatten folders that only contain one child
size.defaultTreeType - sets default "View As..."
size.foldersFirst - gives priority to folders when sorting even if folders are smaller than files
size.fileSizeUnits - toggle between base-2 (Windows, ISO/IEC 80000-13) and base-10 (SI) file size units
size.fileSizeLabel - whether to show file sizes as labels or as descriptions in a tree view
Coming soon
More advanced filtering options
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?)
GitHub remote repositories are limited to 100,000 files (GitHub GraphQL API limitation)
Enjoy!
