Github1s Chrome Extension

This is the unofficial Github1s chrome extension which provides a popup and a shortcut key to open the current github repository in Github1s's Visual Studio Code layout. It works either by pressing the key shortcut mentioned below or clicking the extension's button. Motivation behind it is I browse many repositories and it automates the process of changing URLs through a shortcut.
