Virtual TA - IDE extension

Connect your editor dynamically to this AI session.

Option 1: Google Cloud Shell Editor
Because the Cloud Shell terminal lacks the `code` CLI, you must download it into your VM first. Paste this into your Cloud Shell Terminal:
curl -sL http://127.0.0.1:8080/virtual-ta-ide.vsix -o virtual-ta.vsix Finally, click the Extensions icon on the left -> click the ... Menu at the top -> select "Install from VSIX..." and target the file.

Option 2: Local Desktop IDE
If you are running VS Code locally on your Macbook or PC, download the `.vsix` directly:

Download Local .VSIX

Visual: Open VS Code -> Extensions Panel -> ... Menu -> "Install from VSIX..."

Terminal: Or install instantaneously using your local CLI:
code --install-extension ~/Downloads/virtual-ta-ide.vsix
