DevOps specialist GitLab has officially taken over the control of a GitLab extension for Microsoft's open source, cross-platform Visual Studio Code editor.

GitLab's strategy is to integrate AI more closely into the development platform. The Duo Agent Platform in Visual Studio is now available as a beta.

It steps through installing git, Java, Kick Assembler, and Visual Studio Code. Beyond that, it even explains how to use these tools in partnership with VICE – the Versatile Commodore Emulator.
