Visual Studio Code for the Web provides a free, zero-install Microsoft Visual Studio Code experience running entirely in your browser, allowing you to quickly and safely browse source code repositories and make lightweight code changes. To get started, go to **[https://vscode.dev](https://vscode.dev)** in your browser.

VS Code for the Web has many of the features of VS Code desktop that you love, including search and syntax highlighting while browsing and editing, along with extension support to work on your codebase and make simpler edits. In addition to opening repositories, forks, and pull requests from source control providers like GitHub and Azure Repos (in preview), you can also work with code that is stored on your local machine.

VS Code for the Web provides a browser-based experience for navigating files and repositories and committing lightweight code changes. However, if you need access to a runtime to run, build, or debug your code, or you want to use platform features such as a terminal, we recommend moving your work to the desktop application or [GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces) for the full capabilities of VS Code. In addition, VS Code desktop lets you run extensions that aren't supported in the web version, and use a full set of keyboard shortcuts not limited by your browser.

Rather than cloning your work, GitHub Repositories creates a virtual file system to access repositories and pull requests, allowing you to become productive quickly without needing to pull code onto your local machine. You can learn more about the extension in our [GitHub Repositories](/docs/sourcecontrol/github.md#github-repositories-extension) guide.
