How to secure your setup⁠.

⁠Development

⁠Known Issues

• Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.

⁠Future

• Stay up to date! Get notified about new releases of code-server.
• Windows support.
• Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local<->remote.
• Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.

⁠Extensions

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.
