    Visual Studio Code Remote Development: Open any folder in WSL, in a Docker container, or on a remote machine using SSH and take advantage of VS Code's full feature set.

  • The other option may require that you add the Remote X11 extension to VSCode (Unless Microsoft has undone the damage they did to their OpenSSH client in the last few years in which case you could just enable X11 forwarding in your ssh options) if you're trying to execute everything from VSCode, and you would have to have a suitable browser or viewer installed on the remote server along with the xdg-utils package (or whatever contains xdg-open if you're not running Debian).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
