11 VSCodium for web design

VSCode is the Microsoft deployment of what is otherwise open source!
Codium is the opensource implementation, and nearly identically in every way.
This is used, as I type here, to build the website with local files, and push to Github

install VSCodium

add repo key

wget -qO - https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/raw/master/pub.gpg \
| gpg --dearmor \
| sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/vscodium-archive-keyring.gpg

add repo

echo 'deb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vscodium-archive-keyring.gpg ] https://download.vscodium.com/debs vscodium main' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscodium.list

install

sudo apt update && sudo apt install codium

also need to install latest nvm & nodejs

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

CLOSE & RE-OPEN TERMINAL, and install node:

nvm install node

install git

sudo apt install git

git config --global user.email "[email protected]" &&
git config --global user.name "Name"
