##Anyscale Workspaces VS Code Extension

The Anyscale VS Code extension lets you instantly open and connect to Anyscale Workspaces from the browser, giving you a fully-configured, remote development environment with zero manual setup.

---

###How It Works

1. ›

   Start from the Anyscale Web UI
   Click Open in VS Code desktop on any Anyscale Workspace page.

2. ›

   VS Code Opens and Installs the Extension (if not already installed)
   You'll be prompted to install the Anyscale VS Code extension if it's not already present.

3. ›

   Automatic SSH Configuration
   Once installed, the extension:

   • ›Generates or reuses SSH keys as needed.
   • ›Adds the remote cluster to your ~/.ssh/config file.
   • ›Ensures all required extensions (including itself) are available in the remote VS Code server.
4. ›

   Connected and Ready to Code
   A new VS Code window launches, automatically connected to your Anyscale Workspace using the Remote - SSH extension.

###Installation Behavior (Changed in v0.2.35)

Prior to v0.2.35: When you installed this extension locally, it automatically added itself to your VS Code remote.SSH.defaultExtensions setting to ensure automatic installation on remote workspaces.

Starting from v0.2.35: The extension no longer modifies remote.SSH.defaultExtensions. The extension is now installed directly on remote workspaces as needed through other mechanisms.

###How to Uninstall the Extension Completely

To fully uninstall the Anyscale extension:

1. ›For installations prior to v0.2.35: Open your VS Code settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,) and search for remote.SSH.defaultExtensions. Remove "anyscale.anyscale-workspace" from that list if present.
2. ›Uninstall the extension via the Extensions tab (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X).

Note: Starting from v0.2.35, the extension no longer modifies remote.SSH.defaultExtensions, so step 1 is only needed for older installations.
