Visual Studio is my favorite IDE. From the ease of use to the sheer number of extensions and platforms that is supported on, I think it is unmatched. And there are extensions that can make your experience even better. In this article I'd like to share just some of my favorite ones.
Remote - SHH
With this extension you can use any remote machine through SSH as a development environment. It is super simple to use, you can create different templates for different machines. Switching between machines is also very simple. There is not much else to say except that it is extremely useful if you have a need for SSH.
Android iOS Emulator
This extension makes it easy to start a simulator directly from VSCode. It is easy to set up, and then only with Cmd(Ctrl)-Shift-P, you can start your Android or iOS simulator.
Awesome Flutter Snippets
This is an amazing extension if you're working with Flutter. It makes development much easier and faster. What is does, is it gives you shortcuts that you can use to create Flutter and Dart code. For example, you can type in ``` statelessW
### [GitLens](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens)
GitLens is a git within VSCode. VSCode does have a built-in git interface, but sometimes I find it lacking. Well, with GitLens, you are able to do anything you can think of in git, all within VSCode. If you are a more advanced user of git, definitely check this one. For beginners and people not so comfortable with git, I would advise using the built-in git from VSCode, until you get more familiar with git.
### [Material Icon Theme](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PKief.material-icon-theme)
This is just an icon theme for your folders, but I find it very helpful when working with bigger projects. It has a beautiful material theme for each folder, and it's not just helpful but nice to look at.
So, those are some of my favorite VSCode Extensions. I hope that you found some of them useful. I do have a lot more extensions installed, so maybe I will do another post if you guys like this one. Thanks for reading!
