DevOps Code
DevOps Code (Code) is a cloud-based IDE, which is a part of HCL DevOps Automation (Automation) that allows developers to write, compile, build, and debug code directly in the browser, without local setup.
- DevOps Code Overview
  DevOps Code (Code) is a cloud-based integrated development environment on HCL DevOps Automation (Automation), with which you can write, compile, build and debug software applications in a so called dev container, accessible directly from a web browser. The editor provides a completely configured development environment with preinstalled extensions, tools and libraries. You can start coding without the need to set up the environment on your local machine.
- Getting Started
  You can find the basic steps for setting up a workspace in the DevOps Code (Code) Browser IDE.
- User Interface
  The DevOps Code (Code) user interface offers key features that are designed to facilitate navigation, file management, source control, debugging, and extension management within the browser IDE.
- Management of Dev Containers
  With DevOps Code (Code), you can set up the initial process and experience the faster loading of preconfigured containers on subsequent logins. When you terminate a dev container, all files and unsaved work are deleted. Therefore, you must push changes to remote source control before termination.
- Extensions
  DevOps Code (Code) includes extensions such as DevOps Code for change management, DevOps Code RealTime for event-driven C++ development, Clangd for C++ support, and Red Hat Java Support. These tools enhance coding, debugging, and version control, with options for additional extensions.
  - Creating Plan Items with DevOps Code
    The DevOps Code extension allows integration with HCL DevOps Automation (Automation), enabling you to create and manage work items directly from your development environment in the browser IDE.
- Automatic Port Forwarding
  DevOps Code (Code) automatically forwards ports from the dev container, so that you can access to applications that use TCP ports, from your local machine. For example, if you run a web application in Code, the port on which the web server listens will be forwarded so that you can access the web application from your web browser.
- File Management features
  DevOps Code (Code) offers file management features such as drag-and-drop, browsing and downloading files, thereby simplifying your development workflow.

Extensions

DevOps Code (Code) includes extensions such as DevOps Code for change management, DevOps Code RealTime for event-driven C++ development, Clangd for C++ support, and Red Hat Java Support. These tools enhance coding, debugging, and version control, with options for additional extensions.

The following image shows the preinstalled extensions available in Code.

Visual Studio Code extensions that are already in the app.

Code offers a range of preinstalled extensions from the Open VSX Registry, designed to enhance the development experience:

DevOps Code: This extension lets you create work items in HCL DevOps Plan (Plan), for example when you encounter defects while debugging your application. The DevOps Code extension allows integration with Plan, enabling you to create work items directly from your development environment.
DevOps Code RealTime: This extension supports the development of event-driven, stateful, applications in C++ using the Art language.
Clangd C++ Language Support: This extension supports C++ development, the clangd plugin. It enables a more efficient and error-free development process for C++ developers.
Red Hat Language Support for Java: This extension offers comprehensive language support for Java, making it easier to build robust and scalable Java applications.

These preinstalled extensions enhance your development environment by providing tools for coding, debugging, version control, and application development that are all within the same IDE. You can install additional extensions from the Open VSX registry. You can also install local VSIX files in the dev container. However, any extensions you install will be removed when you terminate the dev container. See Management of Dev Containers in Code.
