Navigate repositories faster with the file tree browser

GitLab 18.9 introduces a new file tree browser designed to enhance code navigation by providing a collapsible, resizable panel that displays the project's structure alongside file and directory views. This feature allows users to maintain context and streamline navigation, resembling the functionality of an IDE's file tree. Users can expand and collapse directories, filter files by name, and navigate using keyboard shortcuts, which is especially beneficial for screen reader users and those preferring keyboard use. The file tree browser is responsive across various devices, adapting its display to suit desktops, smaller viewports, and mobile screens, while employing pagination to manage large repositories efficiently. Available on GitLab.com and for GitLab Self-Managed and GitLab Dedicated users, the file tree browser is built with accessibility, performance, and cross-viewport consistency in mind, and GitLab encourages user feedback to guide future enhancements.
