Remote development is a set of extensions for Visual Studio Code that allows you to interact with a remote server on VSCode as if it is running on your local computer. For more details, refer to Microsoft's documentation here.

Enabling and configuring Remote - SSH

Installing Remote - SSH

First you will need to install a SSH client compatible with OpenSSH. Refer to this page for more instructions (note: if you are running macOS, you do not have to do this).

Follow the instructions here for searching and installing extensions on VSCode. Search for and install the extension "Remote - SSH" (or if you are feeling fancy, install "Remote Development" that includes "Remote - SSH" instead). Alternatively, just click here

Adding a remote host/server

After reloading/reopening VSCode, on the activity bar (on the left) there should now be one more item "Remote Explorer". Click on that and a separate tab should pop up. Hover over "SSH" and a "+" symbol should show up. After clicking the "+" symbol, a prompt will show up and ask you to enter SSH connection command as if you are using a terminal app, such as

ssh your_username@astro02.hpc.ku.dk

Refer to Accessing Tycho for more explanations.
