Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:03
remotely browse or clone or edit any
0:06
GitHub repository right in the VS code
0:08
itself.
0:10
So VS code provides you with this uh
0:13
extension which is developed by
0:15
Microsoft. So if you just type your
0:17
GitHub
0:20
repository.
0:23
So this will be the extension which
0:24
comes right here. It's developed by
0:26
GitHub itself. and it's used by almost 5
0:30
million developers. So simply click the
0:32
install button and after you install it,
0:35
you will be able to browse any GitHub
0:38
repo. So then it will actually add.
0:43
So you just need to go to command line
0:47
and simply say GitHub
0:51
repository.
1:00
So once basically in the documentation
1:02
they have given this to get started.
1:05
So yeah so at the
1:08
this top bottom position here left
1:10
bottom position you will see this icon
1:12
appearing and once you click this you
1:15
will be able having different options
1:17
here. One such option is this one open
1:20
remote repository. So simply click this
1:23
option and once you click this you will
1:26
be able to select any kind of repository
1:30
from GitHub get.
1:33
So if I select you first of all need to
1:36
sign up with your GitHub account. So
1:38
I've already signed in. So once you sign
1:41
in
1:44
again just click open remote.
1:52
So here you just need to type the uh
1:56
full address of the repo. So let's
1:58
suppose I go to a github.com and I
2:03
have this GitHub repo here. This GitHub
2:06
repo that I need to open. So I will
2:08
simply paste the address
2:20
So simply enter it and now it will open
2:23
that GitHub repo directly inside your VS
2:25
code. It will download all the content.
2:30
So
2:34
now you can see you can access all these
2:36
features right here itself. You can see
2:39
the content of this GitHub repo.
2:44
So with this extension, you can install
2:46
it, enable it and start opening, cloning
2:50
and editing any GitHub repo from the
2:52
internet. It will have this option.
2:57
Simply paste the address and then it
3:00
will do this. So, thank you very much
