Is that screenshot real or conceptual?

I was prepared to come here and say I doubt we'll see any obvious changes any time soon.

It's real for at least a year and a half now. You just gotta have vs to see it.
It came pretty handy when browsing xamarin demos trying to piece together an app.

It's real, you can check it out on GitHub I guess.

For what it's worth, we don't see that on Linux. Just the usual 'HTTPS', the 'Use SSH' link at the top, and the 'Download ZIP' at the bottom. Nice integration for the Windows users, though!

Unless you're seeing something very weird, it's a browser extension you can install as part of Visual Studio Code, and has been available for a while?

Never installed such an extension, as far as I know.

I still see "Open in Desktop" and "Download ZIP". Maybe it specifically recognizes certain project layouts/having VS installed?
