Visual Studio Code opensource

Why?

Pristine VSCode OSS build, result of 'systems primitivism' R&D - 'as much benefits from as simple toolbox as possible'

How ?

Linux with docker & docker-compose, user with UID/GID 10001, a member of docker group, enough disk space in ${HOME} (Drive C: in Windows) to store source and build files

Windows host

Both Linux and Windows expect a .github_token file in ${HOME} for archive upload

Linux with Docker

docker-compose run --rm vscode

Windows or docker-free Linux

Git Bash

./entrypoint.bash

Installation & setup tweaks

Untar, copy-paste an extensionsGallery to resources/app/product.json

Limitations

netcoredbg as vsdbg is only available in Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Pyright as OSS replacement for Pylance
