VSCodium
Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VSCode
🎉 🎉 Download latest release here 🎉 🎉
Why
This repository contains a build file to generate FLOSS release binaries of Microsoft's VSCode.
Microsoft's downloads of VSCode are licensed under this not-FLOSS license. That's why this repo exists. So you don't have to download+build from source. If you want to build from source, definitely head over to https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode and follow the instructions.
Extensions + Marketplace
Until something more open comes around, we use the Microsoft Marketplace/Extensions in the product.json file. Those links are licensed under MIT as per the comments on this issue.
VSCodium (and a freshly cloned copy of vscode built from source) stores its config files in ~/.vscode-oss. So if you currently have Visual Studio Code installed, your extensions and settings won't automatically populate. You can reinstall extensions and copy settings over manually by following these steps:
- In Visual Studio Code, go to Settings (Command+, if on a Mac)
- Click the three dots
...and choose 'Open settings.json' - Copy the contents of settings.json into the same place in VSCodium
Supported OS
- OSX x64 (zipped app file)
- Linux x64 (
.deb,.rpm, and.tar.gzfiles) - Windows x64
- The plan is to build the Windows executable with AppVeyor. PRs are welcome 💙
x32 and arm architectures are not currently supported. If you know of a way to do this with Travis or any other free CI/CD platform please put in an issue or a PR.
