SGDK Visual Studio Code Template

Getting the code

• To get the code all you need to do is clone the repository with this simple command.

git clone https://github.com/H4shtagInclude/SEGA_VSCode_Template_Portable.git --recursive

• If you get an error like...
  'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
  you most likely need to install git either by going to Git for Windows or using the Chocolatey Package Manager
  If you are of the special type, you can also use Winget

  • Installing git with Chocolatey

    choco install git

  • Installing git with Winget

    winget install git

Now you've got a temporary workspace, you can save it by going to File > Save Workspace As...
