Add a button "Open in Code Editor" on the top of repository interface

8 votes

Hello GitKraken,

Could you add a button to open the current repo in the default code editor?

When I want to edit a file in a repository, first I clone the repo in GitKraken, then I open my file explorer, look for the repo folder, drag-and-drop it into VS Code. When dealing with several repositories in a day, this may take a lot of useless time.

It would be VERY fast to only have to click on "Open in Code Editor" on the GitKraken interface (for example the button may be next to the top bar of the repo, like on the attached image).

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! For the time being, you can open the current repo in your preferred external editor through the Fuzzy Finder. Use Cmd/Ctrl + P to open the Fuzzy Finder, then type "open in external editor." You can also set your preferred external editor from your Preferences > General > External Editor.
