Did you checked something in by mistake or did you not switch to the right branch?
I always need to lookup that git reset --hard HEAD~1
But are you using ? Then simply use the Undo Last Commit option from the command pallet or UI!

There goes my productivity: A pets extension for including 🖇️ buff.ly/3fw6Opp
Use `cmd+shift+p` on macOS to open the console, search for `pet coding` to start a new session, and repeat to e.g. throw a ball. 🎲

GitHub Codespaces are pure magic:
Click a button on GitHub to spin up a new one with a full dev environemnt within a minute.
Open it in your **local** VS Code. The backend runs in cloud, the UI local.
Start a dev server and ports are automatically mapped to your local machine.

If you didn't know (I didn't until I made this thread), you can delete a notebook cell with 'dd'. And the Interactive Window now supports bringing it back with CMD/Ctrl + Z.

This allows us to parameterize them for papermill or customize for nbconvert.

We heard your feedback that using the word "remote" in our extensions can lead to confusion. So we renamed the Remote-WSL and Remote-Containers extensions to "WSL" and "Dev Containers".

We've been working on a VS Code extension that supports running Python code in vscode.dev or insiders.vscode.dev 👉 marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName
You can even get a REPL. In your browser. What a time to be alive!

PROFILES. Have you tried them? Hopefully so because it's one of the most request features. Ever. Enable with `workbench.experimental.settingsProfiles.enabled`.
There is now a customizable profile indicator in the Activity Bar.

Oh and when you're working on code in vscode.dev and you decide to continue on in a Codespaces, you don't need to commit your code. Just choose "Continue Working On" and your uncommitted changes travel with you.

You can now get `code` in your browser omnibox...search bar thingy. This makes it easier to open your GitHub repos in vscode.dev.
1. Install the VS Code Chrome/Edge extension chrome.google.com/webstore/detai
2. Type `code`
3. Search for your GitHub repo and viola!

Hey. You. What's that sound. Oh, that's your Task ending. You can enable it with `audioCues.taskEnded`. Great for improved accessibility and multi-tasking.
You can also pin your fave tasks to the top for easy access.

💡 Quick fix in the terminal? Why not.
We've just started rolling this feature out, but today you can get quick fixes when you try to run a process on a port that's in use, botch a git command, forget to push your branch, or even just to help you create a PR.

If you 🎶 still haven't found what you're looking for 🎶 when using Search, we added the ability to view results as a tree.
Just toggle between the list and tree views with the list/tree icon in the top corner of the search view.

So...we got some great feedback on the new Merge Editor. Thank you! 🙏
As requested, the new merge editor is now opt-in (previous update). We also replaced the checkboxes for selecting changes with a CodeLens UI that uses textual labels.

In other news, if you edit files inside of the VS Code application folder (this happens more than you would think), you now get a warning that updates may unceremoniously overwrite any changes you make.

Extensions requiring attention appear at the top of the default Installed section of the Extensions view.
Also, the badge on the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar now shows the number of all extensions requiring attention.
Just reload the editor already.

First, some updates to the Extensions view...
VS Code now shows extensions updated during the last 7 days in the Recently Updated section of Updates in the Extensions view.

TIL; a life saving hack in ; the time line view. Regardless of git commits, it will store changes to your files. So when you changed something, you can most likely find it back in the time line view: code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_44#

Tiny tip for Rust teams using VSCode: You can configure your VSCode project to run the Nightly formatter, which gives you some extra formatting options unavailable in regular Rust.
