VS Code is a new choice of tool that combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It is the first editor and first cross platform tool in the Visual Studio family of products.
Code incorporates Visual Studio's world class editing and debugging experiences while integrating with your existing tool chain. A rich extensibility model and ecosystem provides support for a broad array of languages and tools that integrate seamlessly with Code.
The [vscode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) repository is where the Code team does development. We encourage you to follow along, take part in the discussion, submit issues, suggest a feature, or create a pull request!
