VS Code is a new choice of tool that combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. Code provides powerful editing and debugging experiences, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tool chains.
The vscode repository is where we do development and there are many ways you can particpate in the project, for example:
- Submit bugs and feature requests and help us verify as they are checked in
- Subscribe to the insiders distribution to receive and test pre-release builds of VS Code
- Review source code changes
- Engage with other developers on Stack Overflow
- Create extensions and deploy them to the Marketplace
- Review the documentation and make pull requests for anything from typos to new content
- Follow us on Twitter @code
If you are interested in fixing issues and contributing directly to the code base, please see the document How to Contribute, which covers the following:
- How to build and run from source
- The development workflow, including debugging and running tests
- Coding guidelines
- How to submit a pull request
Many of the core components and extensions to Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the loader, the node debug adapter, the mono debug adapter, and many extensions such as the JSCS Linter.
