Pros of Gitako

• Provides a file tree sidebar for easier navigation of GitHub repositories
• Lightweight and focused on improving repository browsing experience
• Offers keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation and file access

Cons of Gitako

• Limited in scope compared to Refined GitHub's extensive feature set
• May not integrate as seamlessly with GitHub's native interface
• Lacks some of the advanced features found in Refined GitHub, such as PR enhancements

Code Comparison

Gitako (TypeScript):

export function createFileTree(files: string[]): FileTree {
  const root: FileTree = { name: '', children: {} };
  for (const file of files) {
    const parts = file.split('/');
    let node = root;
    // ... (additional implementation)
  }
  return root;
}

Refined GitHub (JavaScript):

function addFileActions(row) {
  const [icon, path] = row.children;
  const fragment = new DocumentFragment();
  const viewFile = icon.cloneNode(true);
  viewFile.classList.add('rgh-view-file');
  // ... (additional implementation)
}

Both projects aim to enhance the GitHub experience, but they focus on different aspects. Gitako specializes in improving repository navigation with its file tree sidebar, while Refined GitHub offers a broader set of features to enhance various GitHub functionalities. The code snippets showcase their different approaches, with Gitako focusing on file tree creation and Refined GitHub on adding file actions to the interface.
