This browser extension allows you to open files in your IDE directly from GitHub, assuming the repository you are working on is cloned on your computer. When a fragment of a file is displayed, your IDE opens the file and puts the cursor at the desired line.
👉 Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-github-in-ide/bmifnnfmccmleigpaolofacllndmfned
👉 Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-github-in-ide/
Once the extension is installed:
- Click on the extension icon to open the settings popup
- Set the local path where GitHub repositories are cloned on your computer
- Select the IDE you want to use to open GitHub links
- Reload GitHub and start using the extension
- VS Code
- VSCodium
- VS Code Insiders
- PhpStorm
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Any JetBrains editor (using built-in web server)
- WebStorm (not tested yet)
- GoLand
- CLion
WSL with the Ubuntu distribution is also supported on VS Code, VSCodium and VS Code Insiders for Windows.
PhpStorm & IntelliJ IDEA support is native on MacOS, but on Linux and Windows you need to install an url handler (see this answer):
- Linux: https://github.com/sanduhrs/phpstorm-url-handler
- Windows: https://github.com/aik099/PhpStormProtocol
I have not tested WebStorm support yet, feedbacks are welcome!
You can also use the built-in web server of any JetBrains editor (IDEA, WebStorm, PhpStorm, WebStorm, ...) instead of the url handler. For that you need to install the PHP plugin. See here for more information. The built-in web server must be started on port 63342.
To disable JetBrains warning "'file' API is requested. Do you trust unknown host?", you can go to
File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Debuggerand Check the Allow unsigned requests in the Built-in Server section.
