Allows developers to open GitHub repositories locally within Visual Studio Code. This extension will check for an existing .git directory on your site, which is a big security leak.
Full summary

Features:

  • Custom keyboard shortcut
  • Fast setup
  • Open from file page, inline markdown, or a code review

Check a website for having the .git directory public accessible.

This is a huge security issue, as all source files can be downloaded. For more information see: https://www.jordijolink.nl/2016/09/24/ripping-a-websites-source-files/

This plugin can detect this security leak on (your) websites.
