Open Code

Open Code is a chrome extension that displays all active github repository tabs in a chrome window. It allows the user to open any of these active tabs in vscode web.

Background

A quick background to why I made this. Over a couple months, I had to do a lot of development on my browser without having any code on my local machine. The experience was nice since I could code on any computer available. However, I experienced challenges when I had to browse through projects that had a lot of directories and sub directories. It was painful.
Fortunately, Microsoft has a chrome extension that opens a github repo in vscode web but I had always wanted to learn how to build a chrome extension and besides the extension by microsoft only worked if the repo's tab was in focus. I thought it would be nice to have an extension that shows all the tabs and let's you open that tab from anywhere in the chrome window. Besides, I wanted to experience learning how to build a chrome extension. So I followed the google documentation and here we are the intial version.

USAGE

At the moment this extension is available in developer view. The extension will be published on the chrome web store soon.
Thank you.
