Browser extension allowing to open files in your IDE directly from GitHub, available for Chrome and Firefox.

Browser extension to open GitHub file links in your IDE

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/

Supported IDEs:

• VS Code
• VSCodium
• VS Code Insiders
• PhpStorm
• IntelliJ IDEA
• Any JetBrains editor (using built-in web server)
• WebStorm (not tested yet)

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.
