This makes me think we should somehow make this configurable.

One option is to maintain a custom template, but understandably that's less than ideal for this.
Another option is to somehow make this a type of config setting that's dynamic.

Nothing against vscodium, if I'm honest I also (personal opinion) don't like that we've already added a vscode link to begin with.

Perhaps we should discuss how to make this generic before we end up with another "adding webhooks for every service" problem. 😅

Does VSCodium not support vscode:// urls? I think it'd be better to start there. Maybe there is also a editor-agnostic scheme we could use.

[jolheiser]

I think we could

1. Add another custom-only template like how we do for header links, etc. (to limit breakage) or;
2. Somehow make this a dynamic configuration option similar to external renderers

[silverwind]

No custom templates please, they suck 😉. Maybe with config:

repo.ADDITIONAL_CLONE_SCHEMES = vscodium://,sublime://

Still, generall I think the issue is on the editors, not us.

[jolheiser]

Still, generally I think the issue is on the editors, not us.

Probably true, but a custom protocol probably lets them do other things that's specific to each editor (maybe?)
I think a config option would work fine with a little forethought

[silverwind]

Problem with the config approach is user can not set icon, but that may be acceptable.

[silverwind]

Well I suppose one could have a JSON value in the config option, but I don't think we do those yet.

repo.ADDITIONAL_CLONE_SCHEMES = '[{"scheme": "vscodium://", "icon": "<svg/>"}]'

[jolheiser]

Could have a config option for local image or web image.
In terms of "security", since it would be config-level, it would be up to the admin?

[silverwind]

Would keep it simple, just SVG string support. Security should be fine as it's in the config, only admin-accessible.

[jolheiser]

Would keep it simple, just SVG string support.

For a web image, technically Gitea could even host the image in its custom dir, which would still allow users to serve it themselves without relying on another service.
And I think might be nicer than storing JSON in an ini config?

[CypherpunkSamurai]

I think adding more than editor svg could be confusing later on. We can simply skip it and use a standard icon for code editor urls, and just have the text beside it. Url Scheme can be Configurable, the frontend would just loop through the json and add new divs with links.

hey @author @redwerkz can u add a test link in the description (first comment) of this issue? e.g.:

"Repositories for trial on gitea are at: https://try.gitea.io/"
