Products that do what Octotree, the missing GitHub tree view does

I started this as a weekend project and posted it on HN 5 years ago. 300,000 users later, I just released v4 today. Octotree [1] gives GitHub a sidebar that improves file navigation and code/pull request review. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Any comment or feedback is appreciated.

   Octotree now supports GitLab▲10

   I built Octotree a while back [1]. It's an open-source browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari) that adds IDE-like tree view to GitHub. Due to popular request, GitLab is now also supported. Hopes you will find it useful. Link to install: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree#install-on-chrome-firefox-and-opera.

    Octarchive – Back up all repos on a GitHub account locally▲6

    Hey HN! I just released Octarchive, a simple tool to back up all repos on a GitHub/Gitea account to a local folder written in Go. If you're worried about loosing your FLOSS work, but are can't keep up with manually mirroring all the repositories, this might be the tool you're looking for. I'd love to get your feedback :)

    srctree = pastebin + git + canvas▲10

    Hello HN. This is my first webapp. It works like a pastebin, in which you can visually keep track of the changes you and others make to it. I was a little reluctant about posting it here because I'm not sure it meets the HN quality standards, but, as a beginner, I would really appreciate to have some feedback and/or tips. The url is: http://srctree.net/ An example of usage: http://srctree.net/1 Thanks!
