What's the relationship between this code-server and Microsoft's 'VS Code Server' service? #5517
|
Microsoft released a 'VS Code Server' service recently. According to the doc , it looks basically the same as what this code-server does. It's CLI tool is even also called 'code-server'. I'm wondering what's the relationship between these two projects, and if not related, what will this code-server going to be if the Microsoft VS Code Server's no longer 'private preview' any more. |

Great question! It does indeed seem like the two projects are serving the same purpose. Is theirs still in private preview? code-server (ours) can be run behind a proxy. Not sure if theirs can. We'll have to wait and see. I know that's a little vague but we don't want to say too much until their project is a little bit more mature. |

Yeah, but ours is much more faster, right? And according to me, it actually used the shell configuration. I have a circuit problem on my keyboard and the G9 key is always pressed. I blocked it through my shell config but VSCode doesn't accept it. code-server does, which helps me. |

Ah, that's good to hear! Yeah, I'm sure there are other things we could list as well. Only time will tell! |

Oh it was F9 sorry. But I would prefer this than anything. I mean, this is a better VS Code that is more faster. |

code-server by VS Code is stupid. Doesn't work on my PC whereas code-server works, so win for us. |
