A Simple Way to Edit GitHub Repos Without Touching VS Code

10d (edited) • Coding

Most of us have been in that spot where we want to tweak some code in a GitHub repo but the whole setup feels like more hassle than it's worth.Pulling it locally, figuring out dependencies, breaking something, fixing it, breaking something else... it gets old fast.

I just posted a new video showing a tool called Matter that solves this exact problem. It pulls any GitHub repo into its own cloud workspace and lets you adjust the code just by describing what you want.

In the video I show:

✅ Pulling in an open source ChatGPT web app

✅ Letting Matter detect the environment and build everything automatically

✅ Making UI changes just by typing out what I want• Pushing those changes back to GitHub when finished

✅ How it works even if you’re not a coder

If you ever wanted to experiment with repos, customise open source apps, or collaborate on changes without the usual setup pain, this is honestly worth a look.

Cheers
