    I am new to the Code Reference (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/). I want to be able to browse the WordPress file system (eg the files in wp/, wp/wp-admin/, wp/wp-content/ and wp/wp-includes/).

    Is it possible to do that from the Code Reference or some other way. I am doing it now by SSH to my server but that is not very satisfactory for several reasons.

    You can view the source code of WordPress at any time here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress

    If you work locally and want to develop plugins or themes, I would recommend a development environment like phpstorm. With this you can view the sources locally. Of course you can also use any other file manager you have at hand in your own individual IT environment.

    I use ftp setup so I can download, work on files locally and upload when saved. You can navigate through all the files on your wordpress install so it’s pretty nice, too.
