What you get

Start cloning a repository in your editor directly from Safari.

When you find a repository you want to work with on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, you can send it from Safari to your editor with one click. Clone in VS Code opens Visual Studio Code and starts the cloning workflow there, so you can continue through the remaining steps in your editor rather than manually transferring the repository address.

You can also use VSCodium or Cursor by choosing which editor opens in the extension’s options. You’ll need a supported editor installed on your Mac and Safari 15.4 or later. The extension handles the handoff from browser to editor; you still complete the cloning process in the editor.

  • Skip the manual handoff

    You can start cloning from a repository page without manually moving its address into your editor.

  • Keep your preferred editor

    You can choose Visual Studio Code, VSCodium, or Cursor as the destination.

  • Use across three hosts

    You get the same browser-to-editor shortcut for repositories on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

Best for

  • You regularly browse repositories in Safari
  • You clone projects into VS Code, VSCodium, or Cursor

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you browse repositories outside Safari or don’t use a supported editor.
