Github1s is a tool that makes it possible to open and inspect a GitHub repository in seconds in a browser in a view similar to Visual Studio Code. What is that good for when you can simply view the code of a project directly via GitHub?

Speed ​​

If you want to take a close look at a project on GitHub , you need time and patience and have to accept that 50 more tabs will be added to the tabs that are already open, depending on the project size and interest. It's actually just a matter of time before you lose track of everything. In addition, switching from file to file and back simply takes time.

Score deals from Anthropologie, Outdoor Voices, Rebecca Minkoff, Tatcha, and more. In addition to these department stores, we’d recommend checking out Madewell, where you can get best-selling styles, like this new cotton-merino turtleneck, for up to 50 percent off. You can also get up to 55 percent off in the Outdoor Voices sale section, which includes the CloudKnit All Day Hoodie for $44. And there’s never a better time to shop Spanx, as the brand is offering 20 percent off sitewide, which includes everyone’s favorite faux-leather leggings.

Github1s eliminates this problem by allowing you to open a project directly in the browser, as if you had it locally on your computer, in the familiar VS Code view including the file structure.

Simple handling

The tool is easy to use. You don't have to install anything for it, nor do you have to write code for it. You just have to call up a repo that you want to (superficially) view on github.com - for example the repository of the framework F Prime presented in this find, on which the code of the Nasadroone Preseverance is based . Then you adapt the URL https://github.com/nasa/fprime as follows: https://github1s.com/nasa/fprime - press Enter and you will see the project in a VS Code-like view. It feels about the same as when you code a project that has just been cloned using the terminal command. opens.

The disadvantage

Unfortunately, the same feeling is not synonymous with the same range of functions: There is neither a terminal in Github1s, nor does the source code panel in the sidebar work and you will also look in vain for debugging functions and extensions. When loading repositories and fetching files, GitHub makes use of the GitHub API and unauthenticated requests are limited to 60. With your own API token, this number can be increased up to 5,000.

Conclusion

In short: Github1s is a useful little tool that is totally impressive at first glance - but does not quite keep what its looks promise. It is still useful: For example, if you are toying with the idea of ​​participating in an open source project and want to quickly get an overview before you bother to clone it and go deeper. Or simply, if you just want to take a quick look at the structure of a project out of sheer curiosity and don't want to miss the familiar VS Code look. If you want to take a closer look at the tool, which incidentally does not come from GitHub itself: You can find the associated repo on GitHub.

For the complete code editor-in-browser experience with all functionalities, you have no choice but to wait for GitHub to publish its in-house feature - Codespaces is still in the beta phase.
