dev VS glab

They aren't using code spaces or github.dev I believe. They are actually using "Edit in place" which is adjacent to those options. The first image in this link might help:

You are mostly right, but the "remote" aspect comes from the fact that https://github.dev/ can open any random repository (e.g. go to this LLVM README file and then hit the "github.dev" in the dropdown menu for edit). Nothing gets downloaded to your computer and happens on the cloud. You are editing a remote repository on a remote computer.

You should know with great power comes with greater bill. You can use https://github.dev/github/dev, vscode.dev, github1s.com to WRITE and READ source code, but can't compile nor run. If you want to run, you will need Github Codespace which costs money.

Checkout "github.dev" (which is based on vscode.dev)

last week i stumbled across vscode.dev and github.dev which are web versions of my beloved editor. Of course there is no terminal available, which made me curious? is ther a way or service that lets you use a linux container to remote into and use vscode on the go?

TIP: If your source code is on GitHub, and you just need to show the source code, you can use github.dev, a lightweight, browser-based editor (based on VSCode) you can access by replacing .com with .dev when typing the repository URL. It even supports some extensions such as the brilliant CodeTour, which is great for showing code in a guided way throughout your session.

I am using codespaces (github.dev) as the IDE.

I can't believe I am just finding out about https://github.dev a vscode interface for any github repo. For example: https://github.dev/expo/expo/

Add a custom search engine in Chrome and you got yourself a quick shortcut to opening any repo in github dev. In the past I would clone repo then open with vs code to monkey around. Now its CMD+L , 'gd expo/expo' to open https://github.dev/expo/expo/

Just in case this isn't common knowledge: You can hit the period (.) key while on any github page to launch a vscode in browser (uses https://github.dev/).

I don't know if you know about the history of the cli. For years it was looking like a hobby project from ProfClems https://github.com/profclems/glab and then it was adopted by Gitlab as their official CLI.

it's not official, but I like https://github.com/profclems/glab

For GitLab users, there is a project trying to give the same UX and functionality: https://github.com/profclems/glab

glab is able to do this

If ${repo} starts with gitlab, then use glab to clone the repo

Take a look at https://github.com/profclems/glab.

The `glab auth login` flow now includes a step to authenticate git as well when "HTTPS" is selected as the default git protocol. This enables git operations like clone, push, etc to automatically work with GitLab on a spotless system after the user has authenticated to `glab`
