Install VSCode

Visual Studio Code is a code editor. It allows us to manage the files in a project and to edit the code that we write. It comes with a large number of very useful features that make development faster and easier. We can also improve its functionality by installing many extensions.

Download VS Code

  • Visit VSCode's download page and select the User Installer 64 bit download - unless you have a 32 bit version of Windows.
  • Once the download is complete, run it from your browser's download bar.
  • Launch VSCode and make sure to pin the software to the Taskbar for future access.

Install VSCode Extensions

Now follow the instructions for setting up the extensions for VS Code.

Set Default Terminal in VSCode to Git Bash

  • Open VSCode
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 which will open the command palette
  • Type: Terminal: Select Default Profile (you don't need to type this fully) and press enter on this option or click on it.
  • Select Git Bash as the default terminal (by pressing enter on that option or click on it).
