How to open Vscode on a browser?

Visual Studio Code for the Web provides a free, zero-install Microsoft Visual Studio Code experience running entirely in your browser, allowing you to quickly and safely browse source code repositories and make lightweight code changes. To get started, go to vscode.dev in your browser.

I teach kids to code in my office daily and after a few weeks of introducing their minds to the methodology of coding using scratch, I start to introduce them to coding(Text-based coding) HTML & CSS. Believe me, if I teach them coding using "notepad" or what's it Pycharm or inteliJ which by the way are great tools, the kids would find it intimidating. So yeah that's right vscode is the run-to for simplicity and familiarity and it's open-source. So all this cool stuff that we get, we don't get to pay for them.

I am not gonna keep you reading/waiting a bunch of lines just to know how to open visual studio code on the browser.

So let's dive right in: A lot of people use vscode and I personally find it comforting and dependable.

  • For you to be able to use the web version of vscode you need to have a GitHub account and the project needs to have a repository.

For example github.com/Chris-Imade/kuda_clone_build

simply convert the repository address to this: vscode.dev/github/Chris-Imade/kuda_clone_bu..

So all you needed to do is remove the "github.com" and replace it with "vscode.dev/github/repo"
