GitHub Readme First is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the user experience on GitHub by prioritizing the README file over the repository's file structure. This free add-on automatically collapses the folders and files section upon loading a repository page, allowing users to focus on the README content, which often contains the most relevant information. With a simple click or a keyboard shortcut, users can toggle the visibility of the file section, making navigation more efficient and less cluttered.

The primary features of GitHub Readme First include the default collapsing of the files section, which creates a cleaner interface. Users can easily expand or collapse the file view by clicking a button or using the ctrl+shift+F shortcut, enhancing accessibility to the README without the distraction of the file list. This extension is particularly useful for those who frequently access GitHub repositories and want to streamline their workflow.
