Editing text: VS Code

VS Code is a text editor with some extra features, such as integrated source control and a file browser. Moreover, extensions are available to add functionality to VS Code.

Installation

VS Code can be downloaded from here. The installation is fairly simple and won't be covered here.

Extensions

When working with TeachBooks (or Jupyter Notebooks in general), these extensions are highly recommended:

  • User type 4-5:
  • User type 5
    • YAML - enables validation of .yml files (the format of the Jupyter Book configuration files).
    • Python - for obvious reasons. Also includes Jupyter Notebook rendering.
    • GitHub Copilot - Your AI pair progammer
    • Jupyter Cell Tags - Jupyter Cell Tags support
