  • vscodium

    binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

  • There is a section in the docs regarding switching back to the official extension marketplace: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#how...

    So if there is a "killer extension" not available on codium's marketplace, you can still use it through microsoft's marketplace.

  • openvsx

    An open-source registry for VS Code extensions

  • > So to use an extension in VSCode, it has to be published in Microsoft's store?

    You can always download the extension (or build it yourself) and install it manually - using Code or Codium. You can use the Open VSX registry with Code, but you have to configure it: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Using-Open-VSX-in-VS....

  • WorkOS

  • dotfiles

    My dotfiles (by CGamesPlay)

  • I’ve started using Remote OSS [0] with some custom scripts to install and run the remote code host. Works great on remote servers and even with devcontainers on remote hosts. You can use a script like the one here to handle automatically installing and setting up the tunnel [1]. I’m working on a PR that adds a way to automatically run custom scripts to set up the tunnels as well [1].

  • setup-node

    Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of node.js

  • No, PR review isn't the only thing that prevents these from being updated. In the yml it's set to a release branch. So it isn't especially fallible.
