More Info

Remote Shell Here

Open a terminal at the first workspace folder, or your home directory when no workspace is open. Also supports opening and connecting to remote SSH workspaces.

Requirements

  • macOS
  • Visual Studio Code 1.85 or later

Usage

Run Remote Shell: Open Here from the Command Palette, or use `Cmd+Alt+``.

Settings

remoteShellHere.app selects the terminal application:

  • terminal (default)
  • iterm

remoteShellHere.sshCommand configures the command to run on the remote host.

This extension overrides any RemoteCommand configured in your SSH client so it can open the requested workspace path and run this command.

Useful for starting or attaching to a tmux session. E.g.

"remoteShellHere.sshCommand": "tmux new-session -A -s vscode"
