> Get the full Visual Studio Code experience without leaving GitHub. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that statement isn't quite accurate.
I was just looking in to setting up "VS Code in the browser" with gitpod, code-server, and Visual Studio Codespaces last weekend. Gitpod looked nice but the fact that you can only customize the editor per-repository doesn't make sense to me. Looks like GitHub has solved this by using a `dotfiles` repo. code-server looked decent but I would much rather auth / secure the editor through GitHub. I tried to use Visual Stu…
> Gitpod looked nice but the fact that you can only customize the editor per-repository doesn't make sense to me. Gitpod also has user-specific Preferences, and even user-specific VS Code extensions. (Usually customization places have a "Workspace" tab and a "User" tab.)
Microsoft is really the best at the slow strategic burn. * You host your project in github * You fund your project using github sponsors * You develop your project using github codespaces * You compile, test and deploy using github actions * You cloud host on azure Each individual feature is definitely great. I'm not trying to be critical of Microsoft trying to turn their investment in github into a profitable busine…
Yup all the free stuff is ultimately to lead us into using and paying for Azure. Need an open source alternative to GitHub.

It's plausible, given that VS Code is effectively a web app. (the exception in features could be Extensions) Not the first IDE to have full-feature parity on desktop and web.
Not having extensions alone already means it's not the full experience. How many people run vanilla VS Code? Can I run unit tests? Debug?
[1] From the link: "Inside of a codespace, you’ll have access to the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, and you can preload any extensions you want loaded at launch using a devcontainer configuration file. You can also personalize your codespace by pulling in dotfiles."
Does this work on iPad? I was under the impression this bug is blocking VSCode and other electron based apps. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149054

I haven’t migrated over completely from GH yet, but it’s a compelling option.

Even for C# VSCode is way less useful than VisualStudio, which also has a free version (though doesn't run on Linux)
Honestly, unless I'm working on a Windows machine, I find JetBrains Rider to be the best option for C# specifically. This is especially true if you like having your tests easily accessible from your IDE. That said, VSCode is still very nice for front-end pretty much universally, and it's also great for things like back-end Javascript/Typescript. I think Codespaces is really going to excel when it comes to things like…
I haven't used Rider, but I'm curious how it could be easier than the Visual Studio test explorer? It seems pretty convenient, and doesn't lack any obvious features I can think of.
Oh, WOW! I was looking for something just like this recently. I tried setting up Theia ( https://theia-ide.org ) on windows and it was definitely not ready for major use. I didn't find anything else that fit the bill either, I hear something like this exists internally at google though. I'm not typically a huge fan of Github (I'm sure that's a controversial opinion) but this is definitely something I'm going to check…
Soon the Platform will be renamed 'Microsost Visual Studio Github' or 'Microsoft team Github'. Then 'microsoft Visual studio hub'.
Then at somme point, Github will be inside Visual studio code online and not anymore the other way around!
