Code Server

Code Server is a browser-based development environment that allows developers to run Visual Studio Code on a remote server and access it through a web browser. It provides a familiar coding interface for editing files, running terminals, managing extensions, and developing applications remotely without requiring a local VS Code installation.

The solution supports common development workflows including source code editing, terminal access, extension management, debugging, project management, and remote development. It is ideal for cloud-based development environments, remote servers, Azure virtual machines, development labs, and browser-based coding use cases.
