![]() ![]() Git is installed by default under /usr/bin/git. We can install GIT using yum in RedHat/centOS and apt-get in debian. In addition to being distributed, Git has been designed with performance, security and flexibility in mind. Rather than have only one single place for the full version history of the software as is common in once-popular version control systems like CVS or Subversion (also known as SVN), in Git, every developer’s working copy of the code is also a repository that can contain the full history of all changes. Having a distributed architecture, Git is an example of a DVCS (hence Distributed Version Control System). Developers who have worked with Git are well represented in the pool of available software development talent and it works well on a wide range of operating systems and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). A staggering number of software projects rely on Git for version control, including commercial projects as well as open source. Git is a mature, actively maintained open source project originally developed in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of the Linux operating system kernel. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.By far, the most widely used modern version control system in the world today is Git. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. ![]() ![]() According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. ![]()
