![]() The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better. One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two. While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult. Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without "ghost" newlines.

To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called
init.sh
in this directory, which creates the configuration files in
.vscode/
that VS Code consumes. init.sh
needs access to make
and gcc
,
so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
