Virtual Repos is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows to open and edit a remote repository (e.g. on GitHub) without cloning, committing or pushing your changes. It all happens automatically

vscode-virtualrepos's Issues

Group repos in custom "folders"

Sort menu duplicate commands

Rename file/folder

Copy remote URL

Explore push on inverval

Similar to pull on interval, explore push changes on a configurable interval rather than on file save.

Add file apparently does not do anything in github.dev

No visible exception but nothing happens

Delete folder error

2022-11-29 7:5:58:754 - Error: Error reading repo TestRepo: folder is not a file

Star an open repository

Handle multiple repos with the same name

Fork a repo then open both the fork and upstream. Both repos will be listed with the same name:

1. It is not clear which repo one is viewing and potentially modifying (add/remove/update files etc.)
2. Virtual File System lookup would fail since it would return multiple files

Follow/unfollow a user on GitHub

TreeView theme icons not rendered

Open repo from GitHub starred repos list

Open repo on remote

Open repo in vscode window

Refresh repo TreeView slow on the web

Files are created or deleted as expected, the TreeView is refreshed (no errors, the refresh can be seen in the Output panel) but the TreeView content does not change. It takes almost a minute for the new file to appear or for a deleted file to disappear.
Browser caching?

The problem affects only the web extension, the desktop version works fine.

Change repository visibility (public/private)

Investigate `Upload file` behavior in github.dev

Explore drag and drop

• Reoder repos list
• Mode files to a different folder (within the same repo, if writable)
• Move files across repos (assuming both are writable)
• Add files through drag and drop from the system explorer window

List and open repositories for a user

1. Enter a username
2. Show a list of repositories for that user
3. Select one or more repositories to open

Delete subfolder

Recursively delete a folder in the repo root works, but the same method does not work for a subfolder. No error thrown, GitHub apparently just ignore the deletion (tested with simple Postman calls, same result)

Cached Starred Repos and My Repos are not refreshed

Wrong refresh rate with VirtualRepos.PullInterval

VirtualRepos.PullInterval: 0 should disable refresh but it actually refreshes the TreeView in a very tight loop

Explore telemetry api

Handle conflicts on pull/push

Explore new output channel api

• https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_74#_log-output-channel
• https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#LogOutputChannel

Delete repository does not refresh the TreeView

The repository is deleted, but refresh does not work properly

Improve pull on interval

Fix star/unstar icon in treeview at extension startup

Starred status may be out of sync with GitHub.
Also, on a new machine, all repos are shown as unstarred regardless of their status on GitHub

Improve startup performance

Starred repositories call can take a long time to return if a user has a lot of them.
It might be worth caching the list in globalState and update it asynchronously after the extension is fully loaded

Activation fails in github.dev

Fork repository

Upload multiple files

Upload multiple files

Refreshing the treeview does not help, the extension (VSCode) must be reloaded. The problem may be due to an invalid object in our local store

• by stars
• by forks

The editor cloud not be opened due to an unexpected error: Buffer is undefined
