When we working with vagrant many times we need an IDE to make our work easier, for example I use Visual Studio Code, and to program I use Vagrant with Ubuntu server and here I will show you the configuration to connect them:

  1. In your terminal type$ vagrant up for initialize your Vagrant

2. Type $ vagrant ssh-config this will output valid configuration for an SSH config file to SSH into the running Vagrant machine from ssh directly (instead of using vagrant ssh) copy that.

3. Now in vs code install the extension Remote-SSH

4. In the lower left corner we click on the arrows, then we select Remote-ssh: Open configuration file we paste the configuration that we copied in step 2 (we can change host name).

5. Select our connection on remote explorer and connect with vagrant.

Now we can work in vagrant from vs code!
