vscode_ide

The vscode_ide script launches a fully containerized Visual Studio Code development environment. This provides a consistent and reproducible IDE setup, complete with all necessary tools and extensions, regardless of your local machine's configuration.

The script ensures that your settings, extensions, and other VS Code configurations are persisted across sessions by mounting configuration directories from your home directory (like ~/.config/Code and ~/.vscode) into the container.

It supports two modes of operation:

1. Desktop Mode (default): This launches a graphical VS Code window on your local desktop by integrating with your system's X11 server. It's ideal for a traditional desktop experience.
2. Server Mode (--server): This runs VS Code as a web server inside the container, which you can access from your local web browser. This is perfect for remote development or running the IDE on a headless machine.
