Open in VSCode

Open Github and Gitlab links in VSCode
Download Install Compare

Open in VSCode is a powerful Chrome extension that streamlines your workflow by allowing you to open GitHub and GitLab file links directly in Visual Studio Code. Simply right-click on any file link or line reference and select "Open in VSCode" to launch the exact file — even opening to the specified line number for GitLab.

After installation, configure your local repository path via the extension's options to ensure smooth operation. The extension supports GitHub and GitLab out of the box, and might work on other code hosting platforms as well. Enable debug mode for troubleshooting or visit the project repository for support and feature requests. This tool is ideal for developers who frequently navigate between web-based source code and their local VSCode environment.

I usually have multiple VS code projects open. Is it possible to make this select the correct project and then open the file?
