VS Code

The Pro Linux Containers of Brap is pre-configured to make VS Code accessible in the browser via code-server. With the integrated Terminal of VS Code, you can interact with your Linux operating system efficiently.

To open your VS Code, login at brap.dev/code or code.brap.dev using your VS Code password provided at code.brap.dev/linux-containers:

For enhanced experience, add your VS Code to your desktop or mobile, so you can run it just like your native apps. This is possible because the VS Code is a Progressive Web App (PWA).

To install to your desktop on a Windows desktop, click the "Install" button of your web browser. This enables it to behave as a true-desktop application, enabling more keyboard shortcuts.

To install to your iOS device, open your VS Code (eg. code.brap.dev), then click the Add to home of your web browser.

You may also open multiple instances of VS Code, great when working on multiple bigger projects.

For starters, see the official Getting started with VS Code guide.

Working on a project

It is best to open your VS Code on a per project basis. For example, if you are working on project called ~/my-laravel-project, you should Open Folder that project on your VS Code.

You may also open a VS Code link that directly opens a folder on your Pro Linux Container like so:

https://fun-sample.brap.dev/?folder=/brap/codes/my-django-project

Extensions

You may install extensions from the Open VSX Registry.
