Related Projects

Many of the core components and extensions to VS Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the node debug adapter and the mono debug adapter repositories are separate from each other.

For a complete list, please visit the Related Projects page on our wiki.

Bundled Extensions

VS Code includes a set of built-in extensions located in the extensions folder, including grammars and snippets for many languages. Extensions that provide rich language support (code completion, Go to Definition, etc.) for a language have the suffix language-features. For example, the json extension provides coloring for JSON files and json-language-features provides rich language support for JSON files.

Development Container

This repository includes a Visual Studio Code Dev Containers / GitHub Codespaces development container.

• For Dev Containers, use the Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume… command which creates a Docker volume for better disk I/O on macOS and Windows.
• For Codespaces, install the GitHub Codespaces extension in VS Code, and use the Codespaces: Create New Codespace command.

Docker / the Codespace should have at least 4 Cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) to run full build. See the development container README for more information.
