Favorite VS Code extensions
13 Feb 2022On this post i am going to list my favorite extensions for Visual Studio Code
These extensions below help me to be more productive on my role as a DevOps Engineer
-
The most helpful feature of GitLens is that it visualizes code authorship via Git blame annotations.
-
Vim emulation for Visual Studio Code. Some of my favorite settings that complements vim emulation
Enable them by adding the following in
settings.json
"vim.smartRelativeLine": true, "vim.useSystemClipboard": true
This allows the extension to use the system clipboard and also it renders the relative line numbers so i can easily browse a file inside vscode
-
Integrates ShellCheck into Visual Studio Code. You need to have shellcheck installed on your system
-
A language server for Bash.
It exposed IDE-like features for bash/shell scripts into vscode. Symbols are added so jump to declaration and references are supported
-
YAML Language Support by Red Hat, with built-in Kubernetes syntax support
-
The HashiCorp Terraform Visual Studio Code extension adds syntax highlighting and other editing features for Terraform files using the Terraform Language Server.
-
This functionality used to be included by Bracket Pair Colorizer extension but recently became native to VS Code.
Enable it by adding the setting
"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true
