- Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
- If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
- Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go.

## Build
2019-07-03 00:10:17 +00:00
- If you also plan on developing, set the `OUT` environment variable: `
export OUT=/path/to/some/directory`. Otherwise it will build in this
directory which will cause issues because then `yarn watch` will try to
compile the build directory as well.
- Run `yarn build ${vscodeVersion} ${target} ${arch}` in this directory (for example:
`yarn build 1.35.0 linux x64` ).

2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
## Development
2019-07-02 16:33:27 +00:00
- Clone VS Code.
2019-07-03 00:10:17 +00:00
- Run `yarn` in the VS Code root directory.
- Clone this repository to `src/vs/server` in the VS Code source.
- Run `yarn` in this directory.
2019-07-02 16:33:27 +00:00
- Run `yarn watch` in this directory.
- Wait for the initial compilation to complete.
- Run `yarn start` in this directory.
2019-06-27 22:34:33 +00:00
- Visit `http://localhost:8443` .
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
### Known Issues
2019-03-07 21:23:16 +00:00
- Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.
2019-07-01 13:29:13 +00:00
- To debug Golang using [ms-vscode-go extension ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.Go ), you need to add `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` to your `docker run` arguments when launching code-server with Docker. See [#725 ](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/725 ) for details.

- **Stay up to date!** Get notified about new releases of code-server.
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
- Windows support.
2019-03-14 22:32:18 +00:00
- Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local< - > remote.
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
- Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.
2019-04-03 15:23:32 +00:00
### Extensions
2019-03-22 19:58:13 +00:00
2019-04-02 15:41:44 +00:00
At the moment we can't use the official VSCode Marketplace. We've created a custom extension marketplace focused around open-sourced extensions. However, if you have access to the `.vsix` file, you can manually install the extension.

## Telemetry
Use the `--disable-telemetry` flag or set `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` to disable tracking ENTIRELY.
We use data collected to improve code-server.
