Useful VSCode plugins

For more than 25 years, BBedit has been my editor of choice (beside vi, when I need to edit files on remote Linux machines). But I had to work with Windows for almost two years, and fell in love with VSCode, which is now my editor of choice on macOS.

Before talking about VSCode, just a quick note about Oh My ZSH! With the move from bash to zsh as the default shell in macOS, ohmyzsh is simply amazing! Git context, many commands for macOS and VSCode, it’s just great.

As for VSCode, my plugins of choice are:

• GitLens. See the history of the file directly in the editor, including who did the last change, and when.
• CloudFormation. Really useful if you need to deal with CloudFormation templates.
• Hashicorp Terraform. Auto-completion, syntax check and highlights.
• Jira and Bitbucket. Create Jira issues, or create or view pull requests directly from VSCode.
• Rainbow CSV. Much easier way to view CSV files, and do basic transformation on those files.

Have fun with VSCode!
