Using VS Code & Git

Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform editor with built-in Git integration that enables developers to manage version-controlled projects through its interface or integrated terminal. The article explains how to verify Git installation and configure a username and email, then clone an existing repository or initialize a new local one before following the standard workflow of editing files, staging selected changes, writing clear commit messages, and reviewing commit history. It also describes connecting local projects to remote repositories such as GitHub, publishing or adding remotes, pushing local commits, and pulling collaborators’ updates to stay synchronized. GitLens is presented as an optional extension that expands VS Code’s Git capabilities with commit graphs, blame annotations, file histories, code heatmaps, work-in-progress management, commit details, and contributor views; its core and public-repository features are broadly available, while some private-repository functionality requires a Pro subscription.
