Browse Github repositories using VSCode-like environment

Sometimes we want to explore a third-party repository using familiar tools.

If the repository is hosted on Github, and our familiar tool is VSCode, then Githubs1.com allows us to do exactly that. It can open the repository in an online VSCode-like editor, without cloning the repository or using any local tools.

The instructions are simple:

Just add “1s” after “github” in the URL of any repository you want to read.

You can try it out on my example https://github1s.com/stribny/python-jobsearch repository. The standard read-only operations like search within files, searching for files, or opening a file based on the file name all work like we are used to.

Hope this helps,
