Visual Studio Code Portable is one of the most popular development software for Windows by Microsoft. Compared to its standalone edition, the editor runs without installation, supporting multiple programming languages, extensions, and integrations.
Addons
Users can install thousands of extensions from the official Marketplace. There are themes, language packs, debugging tools and productivity enhancers. All components remain in the portable directory, making the setup easily transferable.
Git integration allows easy version control management, with commands for committing, branching, and merging directly within the platform. On top of that, the terminal works with PowerShell, Command Prompt and WSL, providing flexibility for different development needs.
Visual part
The application allows you to personalize the interface with fonts, and key bindings. All customizations are stored in the portable file as well, meaning you can launch the editor on any computer with ready-made configuration. Additionally, there are debugging tools for multiple languages. You are able to set breakpoints, inspect variables and troubleshoot code in real time.
