Working directly on {% data variables.location.product_location %} is best for small, simple changes, often targeting a single file in a repository. If you want to work in the browser but need to make more complex changes, such as moving content between files, you can choose from the following tools to open a repository in a dedicated editor.
* If you want an editor where you can quickly open or create files, you can press the `.` key in any repository to open the github.dev editor. This is a lightweight web-based editor that includes many of the features of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, such as a search bar and buttons for Git commands. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/codespaces/the-githubdev-web-based-editor).
* If you want to stay in the browser but need to do things like run commands, create a test build of your project, or install dependencies, you can open a repository in a codespace. A codespace is a remote development environment with storage and compute power. It includes an editor and integrated terminal, and comes preinstalled with common tools you may need to work with a project, including Git. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/codespaces/overview).
