The first thing that must be done is the installation of Git. I’ll be demonstrating with VS Code on Pop!_OS, so you’ll have to alter the Git installation process to match your operating system. The only things you’ll need to make this work are a running instance of VS Code and a GitHub account you can log in to.

I’m going to first show you how to install the extension and log in to your GitHub account. Not only can you add a GitHub repository, but you can also better review and manage GitHub pull requests and issues with a handy extension, called GitHub Pull Requests and Issues. One other reason why VS Code is such a great option is that it makes it both possible and easy for you to work with code from a GitHub repository.

It’s free, works with a large number of languages, is easy to use and offers tons of extensions to make the tool even more useful. Virtual Studio Code, also known as VS Code, is one of the most popular integrated development environments (IDEs).
