Some Recommended VS Code Extensions

One of the things that makes Visual Studio Code (VSCode) such a great editor is the many extensions that have been built for it. Extensions in VSCode are explained here. As a reference for myself when building new machines,and anyone else who might find this useful, below is a list of my most used extensions:

• Bracket pair colorizer - Colours your brackets and braces for easy identification. I avoid many missing bracket errors with this one!
• XML Tools - XML Formatting, XQuery, and XPath Tools.
• ESLint - Extension to integrate ESLint into the IDE.
• SonarLint - Sonar Rules in VSCode to check your code quality as you go.
• Prettier - Integrate Prettier into your IDE
• GitLens - Extend the Git capabilities of VSCode with this tool.
• PowerShell - Develop PowerShell scripts inside VSCode.
• Docker - Develop Dockers scripts inside VSCode. Adds syntax highlighting, commands, hover tips, and linting for Dockerfile and docker-compose files.
• REST Client - Allows you to send HTTP requests and view the response directly in VSCode.
