10 Must-Know Visual Studio Code (VSCode) Features to Supercharge Your Coding Workflow

From Conflict Resolution to Multi-Cursor Magic: Discover the Tools That Make VSCode the Ultimate Developer Powerhouse

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is one of the best code editors out there. It has dethroned Sublime Text as the go-to choice for many developers. Built on Electron (like Atom, another highly-regarded code editor), VSCode is fast and avoids the performance pitfalls that plague many JavaScript-based applications. It’s open-source and available on GitHub. Below are some essential VSCode tips and tricks to boost your productivity and streamline your workflow.

When dealing with merge conflicts, VSCode makes it a breeze. Simply search for <<<<< across all files, and VSCode will display the conflicting sections. The top section shows the code from the main branch (usually master), while the bottom section displays the code from your current branch.

You’ll have four options:

• Accept Current Change: Keeps the code from the main branch.
• Accept Incoming Change: Keeps the code from your current branch.
