About Material Icons for GitHub
Material Icons for GitHub is a browser extension that swaps the generic file and folder icons in repository views for Material Design icons that match each file type. Configuration files, source files and folders become easier to tell apart at a glance while browsing code.
It comes from the same Material Extensions project that makes the Material icon theme for code editors, so the icons will look familiar. It suits developers who spend time reading repositories in the browser.
