Development Environment
Using VSCode as your IDE

Development Environment

This lab will use VSCode as the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop the Ansible Playbooks and run GIT commands.

Note: VSCode should already be open as a tab on your browser.

Step 1 - Introduction to Development Environment

Navigate to your VSCode application in your browser. You can launch your application session if it's not already open by clicking the link below:

Your VSCode screen should look very similar to the screenshot shown below.
A few things to note:

  1. The terminal prompt is the remote Ubuntu VM and NOT the local laptop and is where you will execute code
  2. As you create files throughout the lab, the files will show in the Documents Explorer pane
  3. When files are open, they will appear tabbed in the center of the screen



Step 2 - Go to project folder


cd ~/workspace/CiscoLive/DEVWKS-3928

Step 3 - Checkout and reset local stage branch

You should already be in the local stage branch. If not use the command below to checkout and reset to the stage branch:


git checkout -B stage


Reset branch 'stage'
