[Feature Request]: browse current repository file tree and open files for viewing

[vlad-pplx]

Hi,

I would love to have a way to browse the current repository file structure as a tree, not only the list/tree of local changes.

Right now Fork is great for inspecting changed files, but sometimes I want to quickly explore the repository itself without leaving the app or opening another editor (I don't want leave my setup with Claude Code + Fork). This would be especially useful when I need to inspect files that are unchanged, read configuration files, or quickly understand the project layout.

Suggested behavior:

• Add a file tree view for the current working directory / repository structure.
• Allow expanding and collapsing folders.
• Allow opening a file from that tree in a read-only viewer.
• Allow opening files through a shortcut like Cmd+P, similar to “Go to File”.
• The file opened this way does not need full editing support; read-only viewing would already be very useful.

Possible use cases:

• Browse project structure without switching to Finder or another IDE.
• Open and read unchanged files such as README, config files, source files, or documentation.
• Quickly inspect files by name via Cmd+P.
• Compare changed files with surrounding unchanged files more easily.

This would make Fork much more useful as a lightweight repository browser in addition to being an excellent Git client.

Thanks for considering it!

What about the File Tree tab?
