Development Workflow

yarn
yarn vscode
yarn watch # Visit http://localhost:8080 once completed.

To develop inside of an isolated docker container:

./ci/dev-image/exec.sh

root@12345:/code-server# yarn
root@12345:/code-server# yarn vscode
root@12345:/code-server# yarn watch

Any changes made to the source will be live reloaded.

If changes are made to the patch and you've built previously you must manually reset VS Code then run yarn vscode:patch.

Some docs are available at ../src/node/app on how code-server works internally.

yarn
yarn vscode
yarn build
node ./build/out/node/entry.js # Run the built JavaScript with Node.
