VS Code is a web-based version of the popular code editor, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), designed to run entirely in the cloud. It provides developers with a seamless and collaborative coding experience, eliminating the need for local installations of the editor and enabling them to work from anywhere, using any device with a web browser.
Features
Familiar Interface: VS Code retains the familiar user interface and functionality of the desktop version of Visual Studio Code, ensuring a smooth transition for existing users.
Cloud Storage: Projects and files are securely stored in the cloud, allowing developers to access their code from any device with an internet connection. This eliminates the need for manual file syncing or the risk of losing local files.
Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple developers can work on the same project simultaneously, with changes reflecting in real-time. This facilitates effective collaboration, enabling teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of their physical location.
Built-in Extensions: VS Code supports a wide range of extensions from the Visual Studio Code ecosystem. Developers can enhance their coding experience by installing and utilizing their favorite extensions directly in the cloud environment.
Integrations: VS Code seamlessly integrates with various cloud services, source control systems, and development tools. This allows developers to leverage the power of cloud infrastructure and streamline their workflows.
Note: This version of VS Code utilizes the "code-server" project as its underlying technology.
