About

VSCodium is a community-driven project that provides freely-licensed binary distributions of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code editor. Unlike the official VS Code, VSCodium is entirely open-source and free from telemetry or proprietary licensing constraints. This allows developers to use a clean version of the editor without any Microsoft-specific customizations or tracking components. VSCodium makes it easier for developers to access a clean, open-source version of Visual Studio Code without needing to build from source themselves. It offers the same powerful features and extensions as the original, making it a robust choice for coding in various programming languages.
