Documentation Issues

If you think the issue is with the VS Code product itself, please enter issues in the VS Code product repo here.

Contributing

Workflow

The two suggested workflows are:

For small changes, use the "Edit" button on each page to edit the Markdown file directly on GitHub.
If you plan to make significant changes or preview the Markdown files in VS Code, clone the repo to edit and preview the files directly in VS Code.

Cloning

Install Git LFS.
Run git lfs install to setup global git hooks. You only need to run this once per machine.
SSH auth: git clone git@github.com:microsoft/vscode-docs.git
HTTPS auth: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs.git
Now you can git add binary files and commit them. They'll be tracked
