Turn GitHub Repository to VS Code Editor ?

GitHub Codespaces can turn your github repository view directly into VS Code Editor.

To do this you simply need to go the repository you want to work in. Then heads up to the URL and replace github.com to github.dev. Thats it !

For a practical view let’s go to React JS GitHub repository —

https://github.com/facebook/react

Looks good. Just one more step before magic.

Change github.com/facebook/react to github.dev/facebook/react

That’s everything required to get your hands on the repository inside your loved VS Code Editor.
