With newly released Visual Studio Code 1.74, the Microsoft-developed code editor introduces a remote tunneling capability that allows developers to securely connect to their VS Code machine from any device anywhere. Remote tunnels is a preview feature.
VS Code 1.74, also identified as the November 2022 release, was announced December 7. The remote tunnels preview feature allows developers to establish a secure connection to a remote VS Code machine using vscode.dev or the Remote – Tunnels extension from within VS Code desktop. With remote tunnels, a secure connection does not require setting up SSH (Secure Shell).
Remote tunnels can be turned on in VS Code 1.74 from the Account menu or the command palette, or by running code tunnel from a machine with VS Code installed and on the PATH, or by downloading the new VS Code CLI and running ./code tunnel.
Elsewhere in VS Code 1.74, the JavaScript debugger now supports console.profile, which records a performance profile. When running under the debugger, a CPU profile will be collected for code between console.profile() and consoleprofileEnd(). The resulting file will be saved in a workspace folder and can be viewed by VS Code’s profile viewer.
Developers can download Visual Studio Code for Windows, macOS, or Linux from the project website. Other highlights of VS Code 1.74:
The October 2022 VS Code release, version 1.73, brought improvements to the Command Center and the merge editor and introduced Dev Container templates and new Python extensions.
