## Syncing with Upstream VS Code
## Syncing with upstream Code
The VS Code portion of code-server lives under [`coder/vscode`](https://github.com/coder/vscode). To update VS Code for code-server, follow these steps:
1. `git checkout -b vscode-update` - Create a new branch locally based off `main`
2. `git fetch upstream` - Fetch upstream (VS Code)'s latest branches
3. `git merge upstream/release/1.64` - Merge it locally
1. replace `1.64` with the version you're upgrading to
1. If there are merge conflicts, commit first, then fix them locally.
4. Open a PR merging your branch (`vscode-update`) into `main` and add the code-server review team

Refer to the [contributing docs](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/CONTRIBUTING#version-updates-to-code) for information on how to update Code within code-server.
