When opening a remote I would like to add an option to open in a new window instead of the current window.

I know that in Remote Manager, you can use the Alt button to open a project in a new window, but that only works for historical projects that have already been opened, not for new projects.

The ideal solution is blocked by microsoft/vscode#88716

@eamodio well is there a "non-ideal" solution, like opening a URL handler like git-vscode-remote://path/to/repo or something?

[eamodio]

You can use vscode://github.remotehub/open?url=<url-encoded-github-url-here> to do that today.

[JustinGrote]

@eamodio didn't work, pasted this into the browser and just got my default vscode workspace, do I need to encode the parameters? Maybe provide an example?
vscode://github.remotehub/open?url=https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples

[eamodio]

Yes, sorry the url, needs to be url encoded: e.g. vscode://github.remotehub/open?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmicrosoft%2Fvscode

[JustinGrote]

@eamodio it worked, thank you. also vscode-insiders:// for the insiders version.

[eamodio]

yeah, the scheme is the edition of vscode (vscode, vscode-insiders, vscode-exploration), and you can also specify the insiders edition of Remote Repositories as well by changing the authority to github.remotehub-insiders

This is fixed in main and will be resolved when we publish the next GitHub Repositories (Insiders) build:
