How to use VS Code from ANYWHERE

Between WSL, Container remoting, Live Share, Code Spaces and this, the remoting capabilities of VSCode are pretty astounding. Most importantly, they're seamless.

I'm not tempting you guys, but the next logical step for me, is adding apple pencil support. We will make full circle and go back to writing code on paper, but with intelliSense!

I have no better words than, this is absolutely amazing!!

Hey team just saw this - thank you so much for your hard work on this! To answer the short questions at the end of the video: I will be using this on a few ultra-lightweight laptops that don't quite have enough oomph for my development needs. I'll also use it on a VM in which I don't have the ability to run This should allow me to circumvent the docker restrictions we have on that environment.

One thing in particular I'd like to use it a lot with is API development - in particular, work on AWS via the "SAM" tool. I would like to note that my experiences with the remote WSL (using VSCode within Windows to point to the WSL environment on my machine) have been completely stymied by the AWS "SAM" tool. I don't know if anyone on your team works with it, but it simply doesn't redirect debugging requests to the WSL environment - everything within VSCode seems to use the remote connect feature except SAM. It attempts to send debug commands to the host Windows machine instead of WSL. Of course - I completely understand your team may not have any business with AWS or their tools. I am only mentioning this as a use case - if you are looking for common business deployment patterns/uses of VSCode and its integrated toolset - there are some integration patterns out there such as this that don't work.

Great work again, thank your entire team for doing something we have all been hoping for a long time! Thank you again!

One of the reasons why I haven't gotten an iPad yet is because it can't be used to develop anything even with all the power it's got. I'm excited to see what you guys come up with next. Hopefully a native iPad vscode

I think the nice thing about it is that you can create and work on projects remotely, not only that, but you can show your local implemented projects on your phone and even run it, I think this is so powerful.. Many thanks for the great development !

This would've been so useful a few years ago when i wanted to continue coding on my school chromebook at school!

[jaxonkang]

This is so cool! Always wanted features! Thank you for supporting this!

[petecapecod]

Wow that really came together to make the dream happen! 🎆 🥳
VS Code anywhere with a full powdered backend. Brilliant!!!

[ukaszzajac]

this is great but honestly now the only thing that is missing is being able to connect to the same vscode server using many users to collaborate, like liveshare but always on, faster and more reliable

[AraibShafiq]

Can't wait to get access to this. I bought mac mini a few days ago since that better fitted my needs but I find myself needing to move to other places for short moments for coding. This would make my phone an alternative window into my code ❤

Thank you dear VS Code Team!!! We love you <3

There are already open source versions of this same thing, such as coder, open vs code. Glad that Microsoft has also started to see its potential and implementing it

[bollekeboy]

To me, I see the biggest potential for this is to allow more security for big SW companies to protect their source code. I could have my real code in the office in a headless high-powered workstation, probably some big multi-user beast. Then I could connect from VSCode on my laptop (forget the browser, I want native VSCode) and my company can feel safe that "the code never left the building". Of course this would require the protocol to be transparent and possibly anti-exfiltration software (e.g. Suricata) to run against it, but in principle, if you have something "like remote SSH except without the whole complete ability to do whatever you want like you can with SSH, and generally much more code-exfiltration-proof", I think big companies would loooove that.

This is amazing. You can go for a run and then take out your tablet from backpack and start coding in the park. I used to do this on Android with a C compiler installed, but that could run only C/C++ code. This is actually amazing. I just hope it won't consume as much data as a 1080p YouTube stream 😆

[randomdudruses]

Thank you so much for this, ya'll are brilliant!

That moment when he say **secure tunnel service provided by** and look away and says **Microsoft** xD

[Marcelo-pfcd]

Thank you so much for creating this! As an iPad user, I was looking for a solution for using VS Code on it.

[drjones]

I love vscode
So thankful I don't have to use visual studio
Now I just deal with the pains making 5he front end experience
And write all the code using vscode
This tool is a life saver for all languages and developer's

Cool video. Saved to favourites will watch many times in the future. Honestly will probably use it to screen share my web apps.
