Install Visual Studio Code

Though you can use any code editor you prefer, we highly recommend vscode. Here are some useful links for using vscode:

• Developing a Visual Studio Code Project for SSH Development

Step 1: Download and install

Download and install vscode on your local machine from here.

Step 2: Sign in with Github account

Sign in will give you benefit of syncing all settings and extensions across all platform.

1. Click the human icon at the lower left corner

2. Select Sign in to Sync Settings

3. Then select Sign in with Github, and your default browser will be opened

4. Sign in to Github from the popped up browser window.

5. If you have successfully signed in, then clicking the human icon will show your github account username, and you can close the browser window.

Step 3: Install extensions

One huge benefit of using vscode is its large extension base. Here is a list of the extensions that we will use:

Develope on a remote machine

1. Remote - SSH (Id: ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh): useful for remote ssh connection

2. Remote - SSH: Editing Configuration Files(Id: ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit): used when editing ssh config file

Develope on your local machine

You don’t need to install any extension for now, because we can install recommended extension all at once in future step.
