VS Code has traditionally been a desktop IDE built with web technology. A few years back people started patching it, in order to run it in a remote context and to make it accessible through web browsers. [These efforts have been complex and error prone](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/3835), because many changes had to be made across the large code base of VS Code.

Luckily in 2019 the VS Code team started to refactor its architecture to support a browser-based working mode.

As a result many people in the community are still using the old hard to maintain and error-prone approach.

This project really only adds the minimal bits required to run VS Code in a server scenario. We have no intention of changing VS Code in any way or adding additional features through this. Feature requests, bug fixes, etc. should go to the upstream repository.
