vscode tools plugins

intro

what sets us apart from the animals are our apposable thumbs. " two thumbs up pointed to the camera"

while VSCode is a tool itself, it is also a tool box filled with plugins/purpose built tools, think philips vs flathead screw driver.

( sidebar but what about vim, it also has lots of plugins. However I have only seen the most seasoned vim users doing that)

the immediate plugins the tool box comes with are

• source control intergrations with ( git )
• syntax highighting for most languages.

demo

For my workflows I most commonly use the following tools:

• Remote Development

  which includes remote ssh ( quick demo connecting to aws-tf-workspace)

• Mauve.terraform

  syntax higlighitng and various language support by version for terraform

• Docker

  view and manage your local or remote containers right from vs code

• YAML

  syntax highlighting for yaml

optional demo

All together " quick run on kubernetes master with vscode remote showing text editing on live k8s cluster "

optional other plugins

• settings sync

  sync your vs code settings, between devices

• live share

  share a live coding session with multiple users, ( they get credit in your git commit messsage so watch for that)

optional other topics

• local vs remote plugin installs
