Add-on summary
On GitHub, no matter what kind of file is, their icons are all same. However, in your fancy editor, there are some packages which make it energetic.
Therefore, I build a simple Firefox extension to replace original file icon with file-specific icons. This improves visual recognition on GitHub.
Hope you like it!
