* linux: expose the Copilot shim in DEB/RPM packages Honor Linux installation policy and preserve the official installer PATH. Manage Stable and Insiders command ownership through guarded package lifecycle hooks. Add native runtime regressions and a focused package lifecycle harness while leaving deferred packaging formats and non-Linux behavior unchanged. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * test: fix Copilot package launcher and rendering checks Use a scenario-local profile for root launcher validation and ignore disabled shell comments when checking unresolved package placeholders. Preserve strict helper validation and add focused regressions. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * copilot: apply the CopilotCliCommand policy to Linux packages and the macOS shim The Linux DEB/RPM scripts now ask the shim for the CopilotCliCommand policy before managing /usr/bin/copilot, matching Windows setup: a disabled policy removes a link to either edition's shim instead of creating one, and an unreadable policy leaves the entry unchanged. DEB packages add a preseedable <package>/add-copilot-command debconf question (medium priority, default true) that lets an edition opt out; hand-over on removal respects the other edition's answer and the policy. The shim gains `--vscode-shim policy`, which exits 0 when the policy allows the command and 10 when it turns it off, and reads the policy on macOS from the configuration-profile domains of every quality (ported from #341916).

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * copilot: bump the shim to 0.1.2 main's #342224 and this branch both changed the shim and bumped it from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1. Windows setup keeps a published shim whose file version matches, so the merged shim needs its own version to replace main's 0.1.1.

Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS")
The Repository
This repository ("Code - OSS") is where we (Microsoft) develop the Visual Studio Code product together with the community. Not only do we work on code and issues here, but we also publish our roadmap, monthly iteration plans, and our endgame plans. This source code is available to everyone under the standard MIT license.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository with Microsoft-specific customizations released under a traditional Microsoft product license.
Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, and understanding support along with lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tools.
Visual Studio Code is updated monthly with new features and bug fixes. You can download it for Windows, macOS, and Linux on the Visual Studio Code website. To get the latest releases every day, install the Insiders build.

See our wiki for a description of each of these channels and information on some other available community-driven channels.
Related Projects
Many of the core components and extensions to VS Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the node debug adapter and the mono debug adapter repositories are separate from each other. For a complete list, please visit the Related Projects page on our wiki.
Bundled Extensions
VS Code includes a set of built-in extensions located in the extensions folder, including grammars and snippets for many languages. Extensions that provide rich language support (inline suggestions, Go to Definition) for a language have the suffix language-features. For example, the json extension provides coloring for JSON and the json-language-features extension provides rich language support for JSON.
Development Container
This repository includes a Visual Studio Code Dev Containers / GitHub Codespaces development container.
-
For Dev Containers, use the Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... command, which creates a Docker volume for better disk I/O on macOS and Windows.
- If you already have VS Code and Docker installed, you can also click here to get started. This will cause VS Code to automatically install the Dev Containers extension if needed, clone the source code into a container volume, and spin up a dev container for use.
-
For Codespaces, install the GitHub Codespaces extension in VS Code, and use the Codespaces: Create New Codespace command.
Docker / the Codespace should have at least 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) to run a full build. See the development container README for more information.
