In this blog post, we'll start by opening the VS Code repository (microsoft/vscode).Īfter installing the Remote Repositories extension, we get instant access to its Open Remote Repository command by clicking on the remote indicator in the lower left of VS Code (along with commands from any other Remote Development extensions you have installed): First, make sure you have installed the Remote Repositories extension.Ĭurrently, Remote Repositories supports GitHub repos, with support for Azure Repos coming soon. In this blog post, we'll explore just how easy it is to get started with Remote Repositories, what you can do after opening your first remote repo, technical details supporting this virtual environment, and how you can provide us with feedback today. Remote Repositories saves you time and local disk space and empowers you to stay entirely within VS Code for all your source control tasks. You can work on as many repos as you like without having to save any source code on your machine. With this, you can quickly browse, search, edit, and commit to any remote GitHub repository (and soon, Azure Repos) directly from within VS Code, no clone necessary!
The new Remote Repositories extension, published by GitHub, makes the experience of opening source code repositories in VS Code instant and safe. Yet, cloning a repository takes time, may lead you to review an outdated version of the repo if you forget to pull, and can sometimes be a security risk if you're unfamiliar with the code. What all of these have in common is that as a first step, you usually clone the repository locally and then open the code in your favorite code editor (which we hope is VS Code!). However, a large part of what developers do every day involves reading other people's code: reviewing pull requests, browsing open-source repositories, experimenting with new technologies or projects, inspecting upstream dependencies to debug applications, etc.
This has allowed developers to clone and work with repositories directly within VS Code. In VS Code, we've offered integrated support for Git from the very beginning, and we've been supporting many other source control management (SCM) providers through extensions. We're excited to present the new Remote Repositories extension for Visual Studio Code! This is a new experience that we've been building in partnership with our friends at GitHub to enable working with source code repositories quickly and safely inside VS Code.Ī quicker way to open source code repositories Jby Brigit Murtaugh, Eric Amodio, The Remote Repositories extension has been renamed to GitHub Repositories since this blog post was published.
