GitHub to Code

A Chrome extension that adds "Open in IDE" buttons to GitHub, letting you jump straight from a file or line on GitHub into your local editor.

Features

• PR "Files changed" — buttons on file headers and line numbers in diffs
• Blob (single file view) — button next to the file name and on each line number
• Click a file header button to open the file in your IDE
• Click a line number button to open the file at that exact line

Note: This extension is built for GitHub's new UI experience. It may not work correctly on the older/classic GitHub UI.

Supported IDEs

• VS Code
• GoLand
