Connect to Remote Servers with VSCode

By far one of the coolest VSCode extensios I’ve used in a whole. This saves me so much time when debugging dev /build machines. I also use  Nautilus on Linux to browser remote servers  but being able to edit code like it is local saved a heck of a lot of time. 

 Add the remote SSH VSCode extension:

 https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh 

 ext install ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh 

 No add an ssh entry on your local ~/.ssh/config file. 

 Example entry: 

 Host impressto

HostName 154.343.23.44

User ubuntu

IdentityFile ~/work/keys/mysite.pem 

 Open a terminal and test to make sure you can SSH in. You can just use for the example config above: 

 ssh impressto 

 In VSCode use Ctrl+Shift+P then enter ssh.  Select the first option Remote-SSH:Connect to Host.
