Visual Studio Code is now officially available in the FreeBSD ports tree. For more information, please see the following URL:

• https://www.freshports.org/editors/vscode/

This git repository will continue to serve as a pre-official development repository.

This repository contains an experimental port of Visual Studio Code for FreeBSD. The port is largely based on:

• VS Code patches and build procedures by @prash-wghats

A package file is available at the releases page. To install, download the file (with .txz extension) and run the command:

pkg install vscode-<version>.txz

code-oss

If you would like to build artifacts for yourself, be sure you have the ports tree on your machine. If not, run the following commands:

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract

Clone this repository with git command and build/install vs code:

git clone https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-VSCode
cd FreeBSD-VSCode/editors/vscode
make install clean

If you would like to build the port using Poudriere, you need to raise the limit for the maximum number of open files allowed for a jail (default is 1024) by adding the following line to poudriere.conf:

MAX_FILES_vscode=4096

• Built on FreeBSD 11 and 12 amd64.

• VS Code patches and build scripts by @prash-wghats at Electron-VSCode-Atom-For-FreeBSD
