# Contributing
- [Detailed CI and build process docs](../ci)
- [Our VS Code Web docs](../src/node/app)
## Development Workflow
- [VS Code prerequisites](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites)
```shell
yarn
yarn vscode
yarn watch # Visit http://localhost:8080 once completed.
```
To develop inside of an isolated docker container:
```shell
./ci/dev/container/exec.sh
root@12345:/code-server# yarn
root@12345:/code-server# yarn vscode
root@12345:/code-server# yarn watch
```
Any changes made to the source will be live reloaded.
If changes are made to the patch and you've built previously you must manually
reset VS Code then run `yarn vscode:patch`.
Some docs are available at [../src/node/app](../src/node/app) on how code-server
works internally.
## Build
