Display a GitHub repo in VSCode without cloning it πŸ’ͺ

github1s One second to read GitHub code with VS Code

Github1s stands for One second to read GitHub code with VS Code

Today I discovered a small project on GitHub that allows you to easily read a git repository in VSCode without cloning it.

πŸ‘‰ Github1s allows you to read a GitHub project with an online version of VSCode.

πŸ‘‰ You just need to add 1s after GitHub and press Enter in browser address bar for any repository you want to read.

For example, for the repository https://github.com/matchabot/matcha-bot

You can add 1s to GitHub and the address becomes https://github1s.com/matchabot/matcha-bot

The project is available at https://github.com/conwnet/github1s

Enjoy πŸŽ‰

I found github.surf

github.surf
this works same as github1s, but i like it more for no reason lol. (also supports gitlab and CLI features)

e.g. github.surf/matchabot/matcha-bot

source: github.com/bridgedxyz/github.surf

Online IDE hasn't largely successful and popular.

cloud9 and there.

Interesting, and good luck to move engineers to use online VSCode.
As VSCode is trusted by a huge community we believe this is the first step in move up the development community to cloud.

This is amazing.
Finally a way to search the code globally without cloning the repo
