Question
Which GitHub tool or feature is best to quickly modify a batch of files in a repository?
- A. Use github.dev from a web browser. Correct
- B. Install and use the git CLI.
- C. Create and use a new GitHub Codespace.
- D. Install and use GitHub Desktop.
- E. Install and use GitHub Mobile.
Explanation
github.dev opens the repository in a browser-based VS Code editor instantly (press the period key on any repository page), with no installation or configuration, and lets you edit many files, stage them all and commit them together. GitHub Desktop and the git CLI must be installed and the repository cloned first, which is not the quickest path. A codespace can take a few minutes to create because it provisions a virtual machine for building and running code, and GitHub Mobile is not designed for editing files.
