But if you have generated an SSH key pair which you are already using to connect to your server or another third party hosting service, then it makes sense to continue using the same key pair on your local machine with VS Code as well. The standard way to authenticate with such hosts is by providing a user name and password. This is the default authentication protocol used by most Git hosting providers like Bitbucket, Github, Gitlab and more. Git has a built-in SSH client (installed as part of Git) which can be used to connect to any SSH server. In this post we will see how to use SSH keys with VS Code.
If you are using some other type of remote source control like SVN or TFS, the Visual Studio Code remote extensions are for you. If you are using Visual Studio Code there is very high probability that you are also using Git as your main version control system. It is more secure than password authentication because the private key lives and dies on your local computer and only your local computer, so there is no way for anyone to ever get access to it. Key Based Authentication – we will use this in this blog post. Password Authentication – it’s pretty bad for many reasons but mostly because people are terrible at picking passwords. It is more secure than using a password alone because even if someone figures out your password they can’t login to your account without also having the private key that you keep on your local computer. Well, because SSH is a great way to authenticate yourself to a remote server. In this blog post I will show you how to create an SSH key, upload it to Gitlab and use it with Visual Studio Code. If you have an SSH key set up then you can omit the password field Step 3) Now type in your host IP/URL, username, and port (if applicable). Step 2) Click on the “Remote-SSH: Connect To Host…” command from the list of options that appear: Step 1) Go to View –> Command Palette… and type “install” in the search bar: SSH Key Set Up (click here if you need help) Turns out there is but it’s not straight forward so I thought I would write an article about how I got it set up. I’ve been using VS code for quite some time now and had always been curious as to whether or not it was possible to use SSH keys with it. This article will focus specifically on using them with VS code as I’ve found it to be a little unintuitive and therefore not well documented.
