Your Favorite VS Code Extension in an Online IDE

Gitpod has announced the start of its public beta phase for VS Code extensions in their cloud IDE. This feature now supports over 10,000 existing VS Code extensions, allowing developers to use their favorite tools and languages such as Scala, Swift, and F#. The integration of these extensions is part of the project's configuration, ensuring that each dev environment is tailored and optimized for the specific project at hand. Gitpod users can now install and test new extensions by dragging and dropping .vsix files into the extension view, with the option to share their new experience with teammates by pushing changes to a remote Git repository.
