File Explorer

Core

Browse your project’s files and open them as panels.

What it does

File Explorer is a file browser, not a project tree: it opens on the folder your worktree is checked out at and goes anywhere on the disk from there. It has icon, list and column views, a side list with Home, Desktop, Downloads, your open projects and mounted volumes, and works from the keyboard. Inside a repository, files carry the same git status letters as the rest of Deska, and a right click offers new file, rename, duplicate, open in a terminal or reveal in your file manager.

Good for

  • Finding a file outside the project, like a download, without leaving the canvas
  • Seeing at a glance which files are modified or untracked
  • Opening a folder in a terminal or as a project
