It's funny how some news simply flies under the radar, in this case I completely missed the release of github.dev back in August, 2021. Github.dev is web-based editor – essentially a lightweight VS Code – allowing you to edit code directly in your browser. There are two ways to go access the VS Code environment in your browser:
- Once signed in to GitHub (requirement), Press the "." (dot) key while in repository or pull request.
- Replace
.comwith.devin the URL to the repository.
