  1. Goto your repo ( in github.com )
  2. Select the url and change github.com into github.dev
  3. You get your vscode ide opened with all your repo files listed.
  4. After making edits goto Source control tab and manage changes ( stage changes ).
  5. Enter the commit message and Click commit & push, your changes are now reflected in the repo.
