VSCodium is a community-driven project that provides freely-licensed binary distributions of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code editor. Unlike the official VS Code, VSCodium is entirely open-source and free from telemetry or proprietary licensing constraints. This allows developers to use a clean version of the editor without any Microsoft-specific customizations or tracking components.
- Open Source: VSCodium is built from the same source code as Microsoft's VS Code but is licensed under the MIT license.
- No Telemetry: All telemetry and tracking features are disabled, ensuring a privacy-focused experience.
- Cross-Platform: Available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
- Easy Installation: Can be installed via various package managers, including Homebrew, WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, Snap, and more.
- Community-Driven: Maintained and updated by a dedicated community of developers.
VSCodium makes it easier for developers to access a clean, open-source version of Visual Studio Code without needing to build from source themselves. It offers the same powerful features and extensions as the original, making it a robust choice for coding in various programming languages.
