About GitHub File Hider

GitHub File Hider hides selected files on the Files changed page of GitHub pull requests, so you can review the code that matters first. - Turn on the Tests and Lockfiles presets, or write your own rules such as docs/** or **/generated/**. - Keep important files visible with Always show rules. - Hide files in one pull request with one click, remembered for that pull request, or in every pull request with automatic mode. - Show all files again at any time. A direct link to a hidden file reveals it and explains why. - Choose whether matching files also leave the sidebar tree. - Follows GitHub's light and dark themes. Privacy: no account, no server, no tracking. Settings are stored only in your browser. The extension runs only on github.com and changes only what you see. It never changes files, comments, reviews, or viewed state. GitHub File Hider is open source and is not affiliated with GitHub.
