*Requirements
- Firstly you have to download this extensions on vscode
The RemoteSSH extension lets you use any remote machine with a SSH server as your development environment. This can greatly simplify development and troubleshooting in a wide variety of situations. You can:
Develop on the same operating system you deploy to or use larger, faster, or more specialized hardware than your local machine.
Quickly swap between different, remote development environments and safely make updates without worrying about impacting your local machine.
Access an existing development environment from multiple machines or locations.
Debug an application running somewhere else such as a customer site or in the cloud.
The Remote SSH extension lets you use any remote machine with a SSH server as your development environment.
This extension complements the Remote SSH extension with syntax colorization, keyword intellisense, and simple snippets when editing SSH configuration files.
If you already have an extension that provides this functionality, you can disable this extension.
*Optional
WSL lets you run a Linux environment including command-line tools and applications directly on Windows, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup. WSL especially helps web developers and those working with Bash and Linux-first tools (i.e. Ruby, Python) to use their toolchain on Windows and ensure consistency between development and production environments.
*Optional
The Remote Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. Whether you deploy to containers or not, containers make a great development environment because you can:
Develop with a consistent, easily reproducible toolchain on the same operating system you deploy to.
Quickly swap between different, separate development environments and safely make updates without worrying about impacting your local machine.
Make it easy for new team members / contributors to get up and running in a consistent development environment.
Try out new technologies or clone a copy of a code base without impacting your local setup.
