According to a report by foreign media The Register, Microsoft published an article that has been deleted (probably because it was published early) The article announced the public preview of Visual Studio Code for the Web.
Visual Studio Code for the Web is the Web version of Visual Studio Code. According to reports, it is a new web-based code editor that runs entirely in the browser. Anyone can use VS Code for the Web for free through https://vscode.dev to quickly open and browse source code hosted on GitHub and local computers (Azure Repos resource libraries will be supported in the future), and perform lightweight Change.
The technology appears to be the same as the web-based editor (https://github.dev/) already launched by Microsoft-owned GitHub. However, GitHub's web editor only supports use in GitHub repositories, while Visual Studio Code for the Web does not have this limitation.
The release announcement also mentioned that VS Code for the Web cannot access computing resources, so users still cannot use it to build, run, or debug applications, nor can they call the integrated terminal. However, users can upgrade VS Code for the Web Services to a GitHub Codespaces instance - for situations where you need a full remote environment, building, debugging, full use of extensions, and access to the terminal for a complete VS Code experience.
