VS Code Server script misleading

[RitwickVerma]

📌 Task summary

Install VSCode instead of coder/code-server

📋 Task details

The script is kind of misleading in the sense that it ends up installing coder/code-server whilst calling it VS Code Server and using the VSCode icon etc. Even though, the VSCode actually supports a web server natively.

I'd like to request to change this script to install what it says, i.e. install VSCode. My recommended approach would be to install the Code CLI version : https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

Here are the pros:

1. Allows using code serve-web to serve GUI based VSCode in browser (what coder/code-server) does.
2. Allows using code tunnel that registers with GitHub account to allow tunneling and coding on the machine from anywhere with https://vscode.dev/ : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels
3. Self updating!

You are welcome to create an Script.

Okay, I can trying giving it a go. Should I make a new script or edit the existing one?

An new one

I would suggest that the original script still needs to be updated to state that it is installing coder/code-server rather than VSCode, as well as an icon update to represent the correct software.

Then create an PR?
