Execute code in a github remote depot vscode

Question

I use the vscode extension to modify code in a github depot but i would like to know if it is possible to execute the code without downloading it

Answer 1

You could add a GitHub Action in your repository, which would checkout your repository, on demand, when you trigger it manually.

That same GitHub Action ca, execute any command you want inside the checked out repository (on Azure server: no need to download the code).

The GitHub Actions for VS Code could be used to trigger that same workflow directly from your VSCode, but might imply a clone first.
