Feature request: Open with VSCode

[adriancuadrado]

In Gitlab you can clone a project with VSCode directly by just pressing a button:

I think it would be cool to have that feature also in Github.

Or even better: Open with vscode.dev directly in the browser so that you don't even have to clone it.

If you want to open in your web browser any Github repository with vscode.dev you can add a new page to your bookmarks with this as a link:

javascript:open(`https://vscode.dev/github${location.pathname}`)

If you want to clone locally using https:

javascript:open(`vscode://vscode.git/clone?url=${encodeURIComponent(`${location.href}.git`)}`)

If you want to clone locally using ssh:

javascript:open(`vscode://vscode.git/clone?url=${encodeURIComponent(`git@${location.host}:${location.pathname.substr(1)}.git`)}`)

However it would be cool to have this as a feature in GitHub instead of having to add bookmarks in your web browser to do this.

Apparently you can open a repository in Github with an online version of VSCode by just pressing period .. It would be nice if there was a way to let the user know about this feature. For instance you could have a button somewhere that once pressed would open the same online VSCode editor you open with . that had a note next to it saying the keyboard shortcut is .
