I like the new gogs interface!
What about adding the option of finding a file in the repo like the file finder on github?

Research direction

The issue proposes a GitHub-like file finder but names no files, tests, or implementation entry point. Start by locating how Gogs renders repository navigation and resolves repository paths, then clarify the search scope and expected interaction with maintainers. Done would require an agreed design, implementation, and tests for the file-finder behavior.
