I recently discovered this feature and started using it to explore repositories and it's saved me a lot of time. My use-case is pretty simple but you can definitely do a lot more with this. For those that prefer a visual example you can watch my 2 minute YouTube video[0].
Pros:
- No need to clone code base to just explore it (cmd + p to search files)
- A lot of VS code extensions are available to use out of the box: Vim, themes, syntax highlighters
- You can import your VS code's custom settings.json + keybindings.json
Cons:
- Not all keybindings work since they conflict with the browser (cmd + shift + f to search all files sometimes bugs out and makes browser full screen)
