Open-source build of VS Code for research users who want an open-source code editor.
VSCodium is an editor distribution built from Microsoft's open-source VS Code source code, with some of the branding and telemetry-related elements of Microsoft's official binaries removed. It suits users who want an experience close to VS Code while placing more emphasis on open-source status.
Use cases: code editing, research script development, Markdown writing, open-source software environments, Git project management
Note: Some aspects of the VS Code extension marketplace and settings may differ slightly from Microsoft's official VS Code.
