1.GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is an artificial intelligence (AI) pair programmer that offers line completions and whole function bodies as you type.

The OpenAI Codex AI system, which has been trained on public Internet content and billions of lines of code, powers GitHub Copilot.

Copilot supports a variety of programming languages. Simply begin entering a few terms, and the extension will produce all of the code for you.

2.live Server

For sure, the most important extension for web developers is the live server, because without it, preview or make changes to your website will became harder and use more time. You need refreash your website every time if live Server isn't install on your local machine.

It became very hard to do anything as a web developer until you have Live Server installed on your system.

The live server is the heart of web development, but it is worthless in other areas of programming. Therefore the next extension I'll discuss is valuable to all programmers.

Although it may not appear to be a powerful extension, it can actually help you a lot when building a website and save you a lot of time so it is the second best

install

2.prettier

There are two ways to format your code. The first wayis to spend time formatting it yourself, and if you are a beginner who doesn't know how to format your code nicely (like me), your code may still look like shit.

When everyone on a team writes code in his or her own style, the code becomes very massy and difficult to maintain.

It will also be more difficult to resolve a conflict because you will be dealing with two different types of code.

Following the conflict, the first half will be someone else's code, and the second half will be someone else's code.

At the end, each code will be unique, causing confusion for the person in charge of maintaining the codes.

Because none of these will occur with prettier installed, I will rank prettier third.

4.GET LENS

We talked about resolving conflict in the previous chapter, so in this chapter I'm going to talk about a powerful tool that can help you with it Git Lens.

Git is the most popular version control system that nearly every programmer uses, and git lens is the most popular(16m+ download) lightweight tool that combines vscode and git to make it very easy to use.

If you still don't trust in git lens, I have a question for you: do you use gitkraken? If you answered yes, I'm going to inform you that git lens is gitkraken for vscode because they're both made by the same company.

5.One Dark Pro

One Dark Pro is not an extension, so it can't make you code better, but it can improve your working environment.

One Dark Pro is one of the most popular and widely used VS Code themes. Developers who prefer dark mode will appreciate this theme's well-balanced color choices and visually appealing styles.
