The VS Code Server in preview - Remote Development

Microsoft have released a way to run the backend part of VS Code on your machine of choice then remotely connect to it from any other device.

Remote Tunnels is now available as a preview feature on VS Code Stable. Remote tunnels allow you to securely access your machine with VS Code from any device, anywhere.

To enable remote tunnel access, you can either:

• Choose Turn on Remote Tunnel Access from the Account menu or Command Palette.
• Run code tunnel from a machine with VS Code installed and on the PATH.
• Download the new VS Code CLI and run ./code tunnel.

Once tunnel access is turned on, you can connect to the machine from any device using vscode.dev, or using the Remote - Tunnels extension from within VS Code Desktop.

Here is the release blog post for more information.

Check out the Remote Tunnels documentation to get started.
