Visual Studio Code (also known as VS Code) is a free, open-source code editor developed by Microsoft. It’s widely used by developers for writing code in many programming languages. It has a lightweight design and many extensive customization options.
I mainly use it for these key features:
- Git Integration: Built-in support for Git version control.
- Terminal: Integrated terminal for running shell commands directly within the editor.
- Extensions Marketplace: Thousands of extensions for languages, frameworks, themes, and tools (ie. Git, Live Server).
Platforms
Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
