Github1s – One second to read GitHub code with VS Code

Feature request: make CMD+P support searching files in the repository. Currently, it shows "No matching results".

To implement this quickly client-side, one easy way would be to use jsdelivr's data api. For example, to get the directory tree for Ruby on Rails:

https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/gh/rails/rails@06e8d5c2...

Maybe the shortcut is different in the browser on macOS, but on Windows CTRL + P just works for searching the project, like it does in VSCode proper on desktop.

I quickly did ctrl + shift + f to search as well and it worked well

It looks like it works for previously opened files. Perhaps the author didn't want to load the whole tree into the browser, or maybe its a limitation on webhosted vscode?

I suspect that the author didn't want to eager-load all files because the API they're using is rate-limited -- 60 requests/hr when unauthenticated, or 5000/hr if you generate a unique OAuth token. Even that 5k could get burned through pretty quickly for a larger repo, assuming you have to make at least one request per file.
