Description
🌈 Feature
Stackblitz offers the ability to craft links that immediately fork the sandbox: https://developer.stackblitz.com/guides/integration/open-from-github#open-directly-or-fork
This is useful to us as our sandboxes modify their own repository directory. We don't want every visitor to operate on the same sandbox and interfere with each other.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reading the linked StackBlitz guide and tracing the existing flow for opening a CodeSandbox from a GitHub link. The issue names no files, entry points, or tests, so locate that flow before planning the change. Done means a GitHub link can open an independently forked sandbox so visitors do not share repository changes.
