Open on GitHub

Quickly open your GitHub repository's Code, Issues, Pull Requests, and Actions pages directly from the Source Control view in VS Code.

Features

  • Adds a GitHub submenu (with the $(github) icon) to the Source Control title bar
  • One-click access to four key GitHub pages:
    • Code — opens the current branch if it exists on origin, otherwise the repository home page
    • Issues — opens the issues tab
    • Pull Requests — opens the pull requests tab
    • Actions — opens the GitHub Actions tab
  • Automatically reads the origin remote URL from your repository
  • Supports both SSH and HTTPS remote formats
  • Supports multi-repository workspaces using the selected Source Control repository, with a repository picker when the choice is ambiguous

Usage

  1. Open a project that has a GitHub remote configured
  2. Navigate to the Source Control view
  3. Click the GitHub icon in the title bar
  4. Select Code, Issues, Pull Requests, or Actions

Your default browser will open the corresponding GitHub page.

In a workspace with multiple repositories, a repository's own GitHub menu always targets that repository. Commands without repository context use the selected Source Control repository. If multiple GitHub repositories are selected, or none is selected and multiple GitHub repositories are available, you will be prompted to choose one. A selected repository without a GitHub origin shows a warning instead of opening a different repository.

Requirements

  • A Git repository with a GitHub origin remote
