As we all know Extensions are a great way for super-charging VS Code. It gives VS code power to to perform many tasks. In this Blog I will tell you my top 5 extensions of choice for VS Code.
Code Runner
Code Runner is a great extensions that allow users to run code directly through one click without any hassle. If you are a student then it is less likely to write the perfect code in one go (even some professionals can't do it ). So you make mistakes and it is perfectly fine but the problem envelops when each time you have to go to the terminal, input the file name and run the code. To make the process easier Code Runner steps in. It make the code run in only one click. So it make it easier to re-run the code which is better for the user efficiency.
Bracket Pair Colorizer 2
You aren't a programmer if never gets confused in a nested loop or conditional statements before. To make it easier to read code (especially when not formatted) Bracket Pair Colorizer come in. It colorizes the matching brackets which makes it easier to read code and debug.
GitLens
If you are a developer then you have definitely heard of Git / Github somewhere. Git is a good version control system (probably the best). But when it comes to the usage that's a different story. The traditional way of using git is through something called git bash. which is fairly good but it doesn't coup up with modern day's need. That's where GitLens comes into picture. It provide users with many good feature like seeing the commit history within vs code itself which make life easier along with other great tools.
Better Comments
Along with GitLens one another great tool that you can get hold your hands upon is Better Comments. Using this extension you can color code your comments for various purpose.
For Example -
If you see line 1 and line 4 you see the difference. I used //! for highlighting the code in Red while //* for highlighting the code in green. You can also make your custom color for your comments. It not only looks good for highlighting but also helps you and others read the more easily.
Cobalt 2 Theme
You must be wondering why I put a theme on a extension blog. It is because according to me cobalt 2 is the best theme out there. It has a minimal sublime feel to it and what I like about it most is when you adjust the brightness you can see difference in the way you feel about it. When it is at low brightness it looks dull and less eye straining but when it is at high brightness it makes the code pop. And if you use it with Pylance Extension its beauty multiplies. It kind of has the perfect feel to it.
With that we reach the end of the Blog. Do let me know how much you like this and in future I'll come with another great extension like these.
