[Visual Studio Code (VS Code)] (https://code.visualstudio.com/) is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages and runtimes (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go, .NET).
The Microsoft version of VS Code available as system-wide module on Swan provides access to the Microsoft extensions. This way, you can launch VS Code within the Open OnDemand Interactive Desktop or use the [Remote Tunnel](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels) feature to run the VS Code GUI locally and work on Swan.
**Step 3:** Once the VS Code module is loaded and you run `code tunnel`, you can use the instructions [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels#_remote-tunnels-extension) to run the GUI locally and work on Swan. In the prompt, you can login with either your Microsoft account or GitHub account. In the example below, we use GitHub account to login.
