The Explorer panel shows the file tree of the Git repository connected to your workspace. Open it from the file icon in the left icon strip.

What’s in the panel

  • Search Files: a quick-open search box at the top of the panel (⌘P / Ctrl+P) to find any file in your project by name. See File Navigation.
  • Open Editors: the list of files currently open in editor tabs.
  • Repository: the full file tree of your project, with inline actions to create a new file, create a new folder, refresh the tree, and collapse all folders.

Working with files

  • Open a file by double-clicking it in the tree. Files with uncommitted changes are marked in the tree with a modification badge.
  • Create files and folders with the inline actions next to the Repository header, or from the File menu (New Text File, New File…).
  • Upload files from your machine with File → Upload Files….
  • Save with ⌘S / Ctrl+S, or File → Save All to save every open file.
  • Right-click a file or folder for actions such as rename, delete, and copy path variants, including Copy Filename as Ref which copies the file as a ready-to-paste {{ ref('...') }} expression.
