I'm new to Ubuntu and here is my issue:
VSCode is always asking for permission to save any edit on any file.
I just want to edit and save without having to enter my password every time so is this possible on Ubuntu?
I tried to add a new user, but I see also the same problem.
I tried to run VSCode as root, but it said it's dangerous to run it as root.
How can I avoid this permission step when saving a file with VSCode?

The easiest way to turn on Auto Save is with the File > Auto Save toggle that turns on and off save after a delay. For more control over Auto Save , open User or Workspace settings and find the associated settings: files.
The chmod command help to add permission. You run the chmod command inside your Pendrive or project folder/directory. The chmod command Basically changes your file permission. So that vscode autosave saves your file without sudo privilege.
Make sure that you (as an Ubuntu user account) are the owner of the folder and files you are editing in VSCode: cd /path/to/my/files chown -R $USER:$USER . Note: If you are not the user, you might have to precede that with sudo : sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .
Make sure that you (as an Ubuntu user account) are the owner of the folder and files you are editing in VSCode:
cd /path/to/my/files chown -R $USER:$USER . Note: If you are not the user, you might have to precede that with sudo:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER . (Note: full stop makes you the owner of the files in the parent directory)
