I like to have access to the entire WordPress tree in case I want to learn from the core files or inspect other plugins. To create a shortcut to other folders on your server, use the Add Folder to Workspace… feature. You can either click, type, or paste the path, such as /var/Finally, see WordPress files loaded in the Explorer on the left.

Navigate this panel to the WordPress folder (or directly to your plugin/theme you are developing).

Whenever you see these keyboard shortcuts after one another, it means you should press them in sequence.

Reach the Open folder… panel by either from the File menu, from the Start section on the home screen, or hit Ctrl+ K and then Ctrl+ O.In VS Code, the same thing is possible to achieve in multiple ways. I can’t tell if I’m working locally or not! Remote development with Visual Studio Code is anything but slow. Waiting for this every time I begin working is a small price to pay for being able to develop in the cloud. Don’t worry this happens in a new window… close the old one.Įventually, the indicator in the corner will say SSH: aws-ec2. VS Code gets this from the extensionless config file you created. Choose the name you set as Host, such as aws-ec2.Begin typing the word connect so the auto-suggestion Remote-SSH: Connect to Host… will come up and press Enter.Press the F1 key or click the dark orange button in the corner.Remote Development with Visual Studio Code Connect to server If you are stuck, more detailed information is in the extension’s details.

IdentityFile is the path to the private key.

Host (aws-ec2) is just a name that will appear in VS Code (as window title and connection indicator in the lower-left corner).

Save it as an extensionless file called config in the C:\Users\Example\.ssh\ folder, same as above. IdentityFile C:\Users\Example\.ssh\aws-example-user.pem

If you are worried about the code not being at your fingertips… Regular automated backups offer peace of mind (you should be doing that on local development anyway).

You’ll have a terminal and access to the AWS EC2 instance via SSH.

Bash commands from tutorials or GitHub will suddenly make way more sense and work well on the server.

Amazon servers are probably more robust than your computer.

You can point a development domain at the server, so no more localhost, dynamic IP by your ISP, or port forward hassles to show your progress to clients and colleagues.

You’ll be able to work from different machines since all your VS Code workspace settings are stored remotely.

Things are super fast as you get to choose the physical location of the server, keeping the latency low (at least on AWS).

All your code will exist in an environment that could closely match production.
