  • If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
• Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
  • All intensive computation runs on your server.

How tosecure your setup.

• Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.

• Stay up to date! Get notified about new releases of code-server.
• Windows support.
• Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local<->remote.
• Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.

At the moment we can't use the official VSCode Marketplace. We've created a custom extension marketplace focused around open-sourced extensions. However, if you have access to the.vsix file, you can manually install the extension.

Use the--disable-telemetry flag or setDISABLE_TELEMETRY=true to disable tracking ENTIRELY.

We use data collected to improve code-server.

Development guides are coming soon.
