Working with Visual Studio Code in the Browser

This page covers the basic hosted Visual Studio Code access flow available from DrupalForge / DevPanel after an environment has been deployed.

Open Visual Studio Code in the Browser

From the Application Summary page, under Start VSCode In Browser:

1. Copy the VS Code password
2. Follow the Open Application link
3. Paste the password into the Welcome to code-server page
4. Click SUBMIT

The Open Application link and password can also be shared if you need a shared workspace.

What You Can Do There

In browser-based VS Code, you can:

• inspect the Drupal site in docroot/
• inspect git modules in repos/
• use the terminal
• look in logs/ if a build fails
