Summary
The basic idea of this extension is to provide a way for you to open your GitHub files directly in Visual Studio Code.
This can be pretty convenient if you want to have more control of your code exploration.
The extension works by leveraging a Visual Studio Code extension called vscode-open. You won't have to configure global paths in the Chrome extension or anything like that!
If you don't have it installed, don't worry, Visual Studio Code will install it for you once you click over any of the links provided by this extension.
