Trying to figure out why YT didn't pick this up as vertical... I'm new to shorts so I clearly mucked something up 😅
I can't fix it now, and not worth taking down... I'll fix it for future ones though.

Nice! Just to note, it doesn't work if you are not logged in, but it can also be opened by changing url from github.com to github1s.com (in this case it opens with dark theme by default)

Wait, whaaat? That's crazy. Super useful. Thanks Kevin, as always !

Lol this was the talk of the town yesterday! Do changes create a pull request or stage a commit? I was afraid to try 😳😅

[oskrm]

You could also replace com with dev in the url

[PrinjuVaidyan]

Can you put the video in portrait?
Seems like landscape

[PrudhviRajRaavi]

Does this work only for my GitHub repo?
Because if I click on . It is not opening the editor for me

[derburner]

Are there any requirements for this to work? I open a github-project and press . and nothing happens. Tried with firefox and chrome

[digigoliath]

I thought it was a joke but it works!! WOW!

[itwebadmin]

I bet Github doesn't mind the extra traffic lolz...

[lakhveerchahal]

Why was it not known to many od us earlier?!

[pexeixv]

OMG! It will be great for making quick changes without having to open VSCode.
