## Development workflow ## Development workflow
```shell The current development workflow is a bit tricky because we have this repo and we use our `cdr/vscode` fork inside it with [`yarn link`](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/link/).
yarn
yarn watch
# Visit http://localhost:8080 once the build is completed.
```
`yarn watch` will live reload changes to the source. Here are these steps you should follow to get your dev environment setup:
1. `git clone https://github.com/cdr/code-server.git` - Clone `code-server`
2. `git clone https://github.com/cdr/vscode.git` - Clone `vscode`
3. `cd vscode && git checkout code-server-v2` - checkout the branch we use (not the default)
4. `cd vscode && yarn install` - install the dependencies in the `vscode` repo
5. `cd code-server && yarn install` - install the dependencies in the `code-server` repo
6. `cd vscode && yarn link` - use `yarn` to create a symlink to the `vscode` repo (`code-oss-dev` package)
7. `cd code-server && yarn link code-oss-dev --modules-folder vendor/modules` - links your local `vscode` repo (`code-oss-dev` package) inside your local version of code-server
8. `cd code-server && yarn watch` - this will spin up code-server on localhost:8080 which you can start developing. It will live reload changes to the source.
### Updates to VS Code ### Updates to VS Code
