Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is an open-source IDE we love :)

Download & install Visual Studio Code.
Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X) and install "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/<your username>.

Other recommended extensions: Python - for python development
