Is there a terminal provided for remote repository on Github or GItLab website?

Question

Is there a terminal provided for remote repository on GitHub or GitLab website? Just like we can change a file and commit the changes in the website.

I am a React developer and not happy with cloning a heavy repository just for npm run build.

I don't expect this functionality exists but it's just a little hope.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Gitlab offers a full featured web IDE for inline repository files editing.

Please look at the following screenshot:

Here is a screenshot about the terminal activation button.

Answer 2

Similarly, GitHub offers:

• a web-based online IDE (still in beta) with the github.dev web-based editor: just press dot ..
• an actual online IDE and build environment with GitHub Codespace (but not free)
  

In both case, you don't need to clone the repository.
