# File Explorer

> Browse, create, rename, and manage files in your dbt™ Git repository from the Explorer panel in the Paradime Code IDE, with quick-open search and open editors.

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](/products/code-ide/explore/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.
