Extensions play an important role in speeding up the development process. VSCode being the most popular code editor provides a large number of extensions, these extensions helps developer increasing their productivity.
Here are the top 5 extensions that I found useful in my day-to-day life -
1. Live Server
Live Server launches a development local server with live reload feature for static and dynamic pages.
No need to refresh browser everytime you change your code, it'll be instantly reflected in the browser. It'll be much faster to spot errors and correct code.
2. Auto Rename Tag
Automatically rename paired HTML/XML tags. No need to change tag name twice.
3. GitLens
Quickly navigate backwards and forwards through the history of a file or even a single line to compare changes over time. You can also jump to a specific commit, branch, or tag to see how the code changed since then.
GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities of VSCode. This is a powerful extension that allows you to see who, why, and how lines of code have changed over time (among lots of other features).
4. Git Graph
View a Git Graph of your repository, and easily perform Git actions from the graph. Configurable to look the way you want!
5. Git File History
Git file history allows developer quickly browse through the history of a file from any git repository.
6. TODO Highlight
You can toggle the highlights and can also list all the highlighted annotations and reveal them from the corresponding file.
Now you won't forget the TODOs you need to make.
7. Doxygen Documentation Generator
This extension allow you to document your code better and easier.
