## Description

Octotree is a source code browsing tool for GitHub that provides a navigable file tree sidebar for exploring repository folder structures without downloading files locally. It enables the navigation of directory hierarchies and the location of specific files through text-based search queries.

The tool includes specialized workflows for reviewing pull requests by filtering the visible file tree to show only modified files. It also supports access to private repositories through the use of personal access tokens and multi-account management.

The interface features customizable sidebar behavior, including docking positions and visibility settings, alongside a global toggle between light and dark visual themes.
