VSCodium

VSCodium is a community-driven, freely licensed binary distribution of Microsoft VS Code. It ships MIT-licensed builds with telemetry disabled and without Microsoft-specific customizations. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to open and configure resources in VSCodium.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

• On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
• Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
