VS Code is a great tool for editing code, but it isn’t useful unless you also have extensions that make it easier to do your day-to-day tasks. These extensions can help you be more productive by giving you features that will streamline your workflow and improve your ability to work on code faster. In this read, we’ll provide a list of the top extensions for productivity in VS Code.
GitLive
GitLive is a great add-on that gives users real-time features such as an online presence for team members and instant merge conflict detection with the IDE’s built-in Git functionality.
The IDE plugin adds a team sidebar/tool window where you can see who in your team is online, what issues and branches they are working on, and what changes they’ve made on those branches. This is excellent for remote teams and makes it feasible to view or share work in progress without using a screen share or cutting and pasting snippets of code into Slack or Teams.
Your editor’s gutter indicators show you how much your revisions differ from those of other editors. Merge conflicts can be identified early by looking at these indicators, which are updated in real-time as you and your colleagues’ edit. The indicators allow you to get an overview of the overlapping work of your colleagues without disruption.
