[TO ADD: short explanation of what VSCode is and why it's useful]

Download & install Visual Studio Code
Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X) and install the C/C++ Extension Pack.

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) - this is a useful shortcut that provides access to many VSCode commands. Type and choose "Remote-WSL: New WSL Windows".
In the newly opened window, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). Type and choose "Clone from GitHub". Then, copy and paste your repository link from GitHub, as shown in the image.

You'll be asked where you'd like to clone your repository to - choose /home/<username>.

Other recommended extensions:

Python - for python development
