Run code to start the application (or if you are using other releases, run code-git for code-git AUR or codium for vscodium-bin AUR/ vscodium AUR/ vscodium-git AUR). Tip: It is useful to enable shortcut to reload the IDE when experimenting with changing product.json. It is possible to bypass this limitation.

The open-source releases above add the Open VSIX extension registry, but this does not offer the same breadth of extensions. As a result, the Code - OSS source does not include a configured marketplace. However, the terms of use of the marketplace only permit it to be used with the Microsoft branded releases. One of Code's main strengths is its flexible API and rich extension ecosystem hosted on the Visual Studio Marketplace. For more info on the differences between open source and proprietary 'Visual Studio Code' branded builds, consult the Code - OSS GitHub wiki. The latter is enforced by a handshake mechanism, and cannot be circumvented. Notably, only the proprietary builds are permitted to use Microsoft's marketplace and use Microsoft proprietary extensions such as the OmniSharp C# Debugger. These different flavors are all built from the Code - OSS repository, but with different licensing and default configurations.
