e.g. Docker extension

Step by step on how to achieve this magic:

  • Is there a way to create the SSH config with a param that will tell VS CODE to SSH me directly to a specific DIR on the VPS machine?

    I knew it was on something!

  • The remote dev extension on VSCode is awesome! It even does port forwarding out of the box
