uh hello guys welcome to this video so
0:02
in this video I'll show you a Chrome
0:04
extension which will save you a lot of
0:06
time it will clone and it will open any
0:09
GitHub repo directly inside your VS code
0:12
so I've given this link of this GitHub
0:14
repo in the description of this video so
0:16
if you search clone in VS Code this is
0:19
the actual extension
0:22
and it's a fairly new extension but I
0:24
personally tried this it works so first
0:27
of all you need to add this extension to
0:28
your Google Chrome by clicking this
0:30
button and simply click on add extension
0:33
as soon as you do this your extension

1:13
you the location where you need to clone

location
1:20
and then automatically in the background
1:22
