My VS Code Settings and Extensions

Yuri's VS Code Configuration

Theme and Font

Microprocessor Development (Arduino/ESP)

C/C++ Development

  • Install the C/C++ Extension

  • Install MSYS2

  • Update the *nix distribution using the MSYS2 bash shell:

      pacman -Syu

  • Install git and mingw-64 (C/C++ toolchains):

      pacman -S git
  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

Enable zsh in VS Code Terminal

(and make it kind of fancy...)

  • Make sure you have MSYS2 installed (see C/C++ Development above)

  • Install zsh, oh-my-zsh, and my .zshrc:

      pacman -S zsh
  cd ~
  sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
  wget -O .zshrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yuri-rage/vscode-configuration/master/.zshrc
  wget -O .oh-my-zsh/themes/faster-agnoster.zsh-theme https://gist.githubusercontent.com/atrakeur/1885c4b279d73c4f84c5b1223b5981ac/raw/b72d8f7cd844c1c4fc2bd5b4f26a1f79cb69cb99/agnoster.zsh-theme

  • Change line 5 in ~/.zshrc to your own home directory instead of mine.

  • Put the following into VS Code's settings.json file under "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows" (or use mine):

      "MSYS2 (zsh)": {
      "path": "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\zsh.exe",
      "args": ["--login", "-i"],
      "env": {
          "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64",
          "CHERE_INVOKING": "1",
          "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE": "inherit",
          "MSYS": "winsymlinks:native"
          }
  }

  • To make this shell your default, add this to settings.json (or use mine):

      "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "MSYS2 (zsh)",
