		somethingsright on June 21, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Free Stuff for Developers Sorry, but I have no knowledge and do not understand what "editing remote" means? What is the use case? The source files are in a shared network directory, but VS code (the editor) is on my machine? Or is it something different? Where would the compiler reside? Will the Compile/Build be executed on my machine? Edit: found some answers: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview

The source files can be on a remote machine but you still get great GUI editor support.

Of course emacs supported remote editing since mid 90's ;)
