GitLab Open in Editor
GitLab Open in Editor is a free Chrome extension developed by Jason Dufair. This add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
The purpose of this extension is to add a button to GitLab files and diffs, allowing users to open them in their local editor. Currently, it supports popular editors such as Visual Studio Code, Emacs, and Rider.
Once installed, this extension adds icons next to the "Copy File Path" icon in GitLab. When clicked, these icons will open the respective file in the user's editor. Users can specify the location on their computer where the project has been cloned and the project's name. This extension provides convenient links for Visual Studio Code, Emacs, and/or JetBrains Rider to open the file displayed in a diff in the user's editor, along with the specific line.
GitLab Open in Editor simplifies the process of opening files in your preferred local editor directly from GitLab, enhancing productivity for developers working on GitLab projects.
