GitHub Web Editor is for developers and contributors who need to inspect or make changes to a GitHub project without setting up a local development environment. Open a repository, fork, or pull request in a browser-based, Visual Studio Code-style editor to browse and edit files, search code, view syntax highlighting, and review changes in the source control panel before committing them to GitHub. You can open it from a repository or pull request on GitHub, including with the period-key shortcut. The editor runs in your browser and requires a GitHub sign-in. Uncommitted work is kept in browser storage, so commit changes to save them to the repository. It suits quick edits and code or documentation reviews, but not workflows that need a terminal, builds, or running code: it has no associated compute, and only extensions designed for the web are supported.
