Take a look at any GitHub repo in VS Code in just a second — github1s

This week I’ve discovered one of those projects which makes life easier for all the developers.

The project is called github1s and gives you the possibility of checking any GitHub project in a Visual Studio Code navigator version. The only thing you need to do is replacing github to github1s in the repo URL.

For Example:
https://github.com/SebaLG/2D-Pathfinding-Visualizer — > https://github1s.com/SebaLG/2D-Pathfinding-Visualizer

As you can see, with a simple URL replacement, you can take a look at a repo in VS Code without having to clone the project in your local.

At present, it doesn’t allow to install an extension or modify the code for a Pull Request, but they have mentioned the possibility to bring those functionalities in the future. Let’s see how this interesting and useful project gets moving.
