Github is an open-source project hosting platform that many students and Data science enthusiast will be exposed to it. It provides a lot of high-quality projects and tools.However, it also has its shortcomings, that is, it is very inconvenient to read and view the project. This article introduces 5 Google Chrome plugins that can improve the Github experience, which greatly improves the efficiency of reading Docs/Project Files on GithubI can be regarded as a Github party myself, no matter how busy I am every week, I will take the time to see if there are any hot and interesting projects shortly, and then configure and debug. I do this for 2 main reasons,

• Can learn a lot from it, including coding specifications, software design patternsAble to pick out some high-quality items from the different useful products

However, in the long-term use of Github, it does make me encounter many places that feel inconvenient or even helpless. For example, when you want to locate a file, you need to step in and then step out of a directory, which is very unusual.

Of course, there are more than two points that make people repulsed, but they suffer from the lack of easy-to-use solutions and have to succumb to the status quo.However, since using the 5 Chrome plug-ins to be introduced in this article, almost all the functions of mature IDEs have been transferred to Github. The five plug-ins are:

Let’s introduce you to the above 5 easy-to-use Chrome plug-ins.

Octotree is a well-deserved Github artifact, highly recommended to everyone.Viewing a file is the most troublesome point in my process of using Github. I need to enter a directory layer by layer, and then exit the directory layer by layer.This is not only laborious but, if the network speed is not very good, it takes a lot of time to view a file. Long time, for example,

Searching FIle

The emergence of Octotree can bring the Github experience to a whole new level. It can display Github projects in a tree structure, which is easier to read, can quickly view a certain file, and can make Github like most IDEs.
