All that said, this is pretty cool, and I can see it be useful for some people, maybe even enough, depending on your setup. It works, albeit perhaps as snappy as a native code editor like Textastic, nor do you get the full git experience as you do in Working Copy. Then check your repository in a different browser window, and you’ll see your commit. Make your changes, then go to the git tab on the left-hand side, and just push them using VS Code’s built-in git client. Extensions are there too, but themes isn’t syncing for me as of now. That includes enabling Settings Sync through the menu cog in the bottom-left corner, which will sync at least some, if not all, of your settings. There’s no reason why this shouldn’t be packaged as an iPad app in the future, although Microsoft might want us all to jump on the upcoming (currently in closed beta) GitHub Codespaces service, or something similar.Īnyway, if you’re familiar with VS Code, you can now do most of the things you’d do on your computer. Yeah, it’s pretty nuts, isn’t it? But the thing is, VS Code isn’t a native app as such on any of those traditional platforms (i.e., macOS, Windows, Linux), it’s essentially a browser in itself. Yep, that’s it, now VS Code will load up your repository, in your web browser window, just like that. Navigate to your repository in your web browser (you might want to use Safari to be safe), then press the period (. Any bluetooth keyboard will do, just as the Magic Keyboard if you’re on an iPad Pro. Now, assuming you’ve got a GitHub account, and a repository, you’ll also need a keyboard. 🤨 Switch to iPad #20 has more on iPad web development, including git. Git shines when you need to roll back after messing things up, or as part of a larger setup, where you publish your live branch to the live server, and the dev branch to a development server, that sort of thing. It’s enough to just start an account and store files there. You don’t need to go knee-deep in git to use GitHub, though.
That means you’ll push and pull code to the repository, sorting it in branches, and releasing versions if you will. If you’re unfamiliar with GitHub, it’s a service (also owned by Microsoft these days) for storing code (and other things) using git version control. That’s right, we need a GitHub account, and a repository, for this to work. At least not if you use GitHub to manage your codebase. Unfortunately, there isn’t an official iPad app just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use VS Code on your iPad. It’s made by Microsoft and is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. One of the most popular code editors for web developers today, is Visual Studio Code, or VS Code for short.
