EDITOR BRIEF

This article explains how VS Code works with GitHub to help you manage code without leaving the editor. It covers the basics of Git versus GitHub and shows the first steps for opening a folder and initializing it as a repository. It also says you can switch branches, stage changes, commit them, and push them from VS Code.

INSIGHTS

If you are learning version control, this is a good way to practice the full Git workflow in one place. Try opening a small project in VS Code and use its built-in Git tools to stage and commit a change.
