VS Code Setup Instructions

Instructions for setting up VS Code like the EDA computers

Follow these steps in order.

1. Install VS Code extensions

• ESLint
• WSL - Remote (Windows 10 only)
• Live Share (online students only)
• GitLens (optional, but recommended)
• vscode-icons (optional, but pretty 😉)
• Bracket Pair Colorizer (optional, but potentially helpful)

2. Edit VS Code's User Settings

File ➡️ Preferences ➡️ Settings

{
  "editor.tabSize": 2,
  "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.fixAll.eslint": true }
}

Note: The workbench.iconTheme will already be there if you've activated vscode-icons.

More Notes

• The EDA computers also globally install git-iam, but there is no need to install this on personal laptops/computers (only shared computers).
