Then, install Git for Windows (if you haven't already) and follow the instructions here to create the two socket files (section "Tell Git Bash to use KeeAgent"). From the list, select the OpenSSH client, uninstall it and restart the system. So, what is one to do? Fortunately, I've found there is a way to make Visual Studio Code work with KeePass/KeeAgent without too much fuss.įirst of all, uninstall the Windows OpenSSH client, by going into Windows Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features and clicking on the "Optional Features" link. The only solution provided is to use the Windows SSH agent, but you might not prefer to do this for a variety of reasons, which I am not going to list here. Problem is, Visual Studio Code doesn't work with Putty in Windows and the Windows OpenSSH client doesn't work with KeePass/KeeAgent. That way, you can store your private key along with its password in encrypted form in KeePass, while SSH clients (like Putty) are able to access/use the key when needed to initiate a login session, without asking for a password every time. This is why most people opt for using an SSH agent, like KeeAgent for KeePass. You obviously don't want an unencrypted private key lying around in your PC and you also don't want to have to type in a password every time you use the key to login to a remote server. via FTP.Īlthough documentation on how to install and use the remote SSH extension exists, things start to get a bit more complicated when you want to use secure key based authentication. Next is an icon of a trash can clicking this will close the current terminal instance.Ĭlicking the ^ icon will allow the terminal pane to take up the entire window.Ĭlicking the x will close the terminal pane.When using Visual Studio Code in Windows, a lot of times you might want to connect to a remote server via SSH, so you can edit files on that server directly, instead of setting up a local development environment or pulling and pushing files repeatedly, e.g. To the right of this is an icon of a rectangle divided vertically in half this allows you to see two terminal instances at once. Right now, we only have one instance of the terminal running, but…Ĭlicking the + icon allows you to create a new instance of the terminal (the equivalent of opening another terminal window). On a Mac, you might see 1: zsh, which is fine. The dropdown menu lets you select between the instances of the terminal that you currently have running. To the right of the tab names ( Terminal, Debug Console, etc.), you will see a dropdown menu and some icons.
Make sure you are connected to SSH, and open the Terminal pane if is not yet open. When working on assignments, you might want to have more than one instance of the terminal running. Running multiple instances of the terminal ¶
