FAQ Add to Chrome
FREE ON THE CHROME WEB STORE

GitHub's file browser, upgraded.

RepoKit adds the things GitHub's file listing has always been missing — file sizes, line counts, instant search, one-click zip downloads, duplicate detection, and private repo support — directly onto github.com. No setup, no server, no account required.

GitHub repository listing with RepoKit's size badges, line counts, and total shown on every row
What it adds

Eight things GitHub's file browser should have had all along

File & folder sizes

A byte-accurate badge on every row, plus a running repo total.

Lines-of-code estimates

See code volume next to byte weight, so you can tell them apart.

Download a folder as .zip

Grab one folder, not the whole repo — assembled entirely in your browser.

Download a single file

One click from the listing — no opening, no raw view.

Copy file contents

Straight to your clipboard, without opening the file first.

Instant file search

Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K jumps to any file in the repo immediately.

Duplicate file detection

Flags every filename that repeats elsewhere in the repo.

Private repo support

Connect a read-only token once, everything works there too.

Selecting files in a GitHub repo and downloading them as a single zip
Download exactly what you need

Not the whole repo. Just the folder, or just the file.

GitHub's own download button only ever gives you everything. RepoKit adds a dedicated download to every individual folder and file, plus multi-select for grabbing a specific handful of files as one .zip — all assembled entirely in your browser, with nothing routed through a third-party server.

Explore zip downloads
Find anything, instantly

Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K, type a few letters, you're there.

Large repositories bury the file you want several folders deep. RepoKit's search modal indexes the whole tree the moment you land on a repo, ranks results by relevance, and shows size and duplicate context right in the results list — so you skip the folder-clicking entirely.

Works on private repos too

Connect a read-only token once. Everything above follows.

Most of a working developer's GitHub time is spent in private repos. Connect a narrowly-scoped, read-only personal access token once, and every RepoKit feature activates there too — stored locally, sent only to GitHub's own API, revocable anytime from your GitHub account.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is RepoKit really free?+
Yes, completely — no paid tier, no trial period, no feature gated behind a subscription. It's free on the Chrome Web Store with no account required to use any of its features on public repositories.
Does RepoKit have access to my private code?+
Only if you explicitly connect a personal access token, and only with the read-only scope you grant it. Without connecting a token, RepoKit works on public repositories only and never sees your private code.
Does RepoKit run any of my code, or send it anywhere?+
No — RepoKit reads metadata and file contents through GitHub's own API to display sizes, power search, and enable downloads. It has no backend server; requests go directly from your browser to GitHub. Nothing is executed, and nothing is sent to RepoKit or any third party.
Will this slow down GitHub or break its normal features?+
No — RepoKit adds elements alongside GitHub's existing interface rather than replacing it, and is built to degrade gracefully (simply not annotating a row) rather than interfering with normal browsing if something unexpected happens.
Does it work on GitHub Enterprise or self-hosted GitHub?+
RepoKit is built and tested against github.com and api.github.com specifically. Support for GitHub Enterprise Server instances is not guaranteed in the current version.
