For Mac it's: option + command + "."

For me, on Win10 in Chrome 92, the shortcut key . (period / full-stop )

Tested on:

  • my public repos
  • my provate repos
  • other users public repos

I think it might be a staggered rollout so it might not be activated for every account. YMMV

mm I got another way to do it. Just go to your public repo and then change github.com to github.dev thats all ( in Link )

If you are a fan of CodeSandbox and just wants to open the full repo right away here's a little trick that saved me loads of time:
If you are repo url is: github.com/RidhikGovind/some-repo then just add the word box after github,
Finally it should look like githubbox.com/RidhikGovind/some-repo

The shotcut trick did not work for me.
Head on for github1s.com to make it work.
