How to install two VS Code?

Question

I'm a full-stack developer (PHP + JS).

I want one VS Code for backend and one VS Code for frontend.

I saw a green VS Code in a tutorial but I don't know how to install two VS Code together.

Answer 1

Your Solution is workspace:

You just need to use VS Code's workspaces so you don't need to install two vscodes. just change the workspace and that's it. you can install different plugins for different workspaces.

BUT

If you are curious about the green icon vscode that you mentioned, read the rest of my answer.

Visual Studio Code Insiders

There is a beta version of vscode called Visual Studio Code Insiders.

It includes the latest features and bug fixes, but new features may or may not be stable.

It has a green icon.

you can sign in with a different account and use it for the front-end and download all the plugins that you need.

you can download it from here:

Visual Studio Code portable

The portable vscode is also another way to have multiple vscodes.
