Must Know Trick for all the developers out there

Hey All 👋, In this article I will show you a trick that will help all the developers out there.

Many times we see a GitHub repository and want to work with it or want to add few minor changes to it and see how it works but for this, we clone the repository on our pc and start using it but we can simplify this process with a neat trick.

Steps

  • Just went to the repository you want to use.

https://github.com/Mukul-Singhal/Flick

  • Put box after the gitHub in the url like this.

  • Press enter.

Voila 😁 now it opens in the code sandbox and you can use this repository in the codesandbox and make changes in it.

Hello Mukul Singhal,

thank you for your article!
This is the first time I've heard of Codesandbox and I like it :)!
In return, I would like to share a useful link for creating diagrams that can also be linked to your own repository.
I use it for my master’s degree in subject software architecture.

If you want to make changes to it you need to fork it but as a template.
If you want to make PR your codesandbox must be linked with Github.
