  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

    A quick suggestion – the easiest way to view large source code projects is to use what’s called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, on your local machine. An IDE uses indexing to quickly search the directory structures and find variables, functions, etc. You can even potentially build from an IDE. A free IDE that many developers use is VSCode. Give it a try!
