Using VS Code's new Remote SSH feature, how do I modify the PATH
environment variable for its terminal? I've ssh'd into an Ubuntu 16.04 VM and it is not picking up /etc/profile
or ~/.bash_profile
.
After opening the terminal, I can . ~/.bash_profile
, but I want something like that to happen automatically.
In VS Code, select Remote-SSH: Connect to Host... from the Command Palette (F1, Ctrl+Shift+P) and use the same user@hostname as in step 1. If VS Code cannot automatically detect the type of server you are connecting to, you will be asked to select the type manually.
VS Code Remote SSHYou can connect over SSH into another machine from Visual Studio Code and interact with files and folders anywhere on that remote filesystem. If you have an app located on a different computer, you could use SSH to connect to it and access your app, view its files, and even modify, run, and debug it.
To connect to your remote machine, you can open this URL on any device. Note: You can also connect to your remote machine directly from vscode.dev: Open the Command Palette ( F1 ) in vscode.dev and run the command Remote Server: Connect to Remote.
To initiate an SSH connection to a remote system, you need the Internet Protocol (IP) address or hostname of the remote server and a valid username. You can connect using a password or a private and public key pair. Because passwords and usernames can be brute-forced, it's recommended to use SSH keys.
You should use this command in command line (F1 or ctrl+shift+p): Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host, which let the vscode server to restart and reload you config.
