Default VS Code extensions?

[kcpevey]

I'd like to have the Python extension for VS Code installed by default for all users. Is this possible?

Sharing notes from Slack:

Tania: It should be [installed]

Dharhas: we also need to fix the vscode git extension. I had an issue opened for that a month or so ago.

Adam: I'm not aware of this capability at the moment. I'm not sure how hard it would be to add either. I think the vs-code integration is called code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server so searching in Nebari and/or code-server docs might help produce more info. Off the top of my head, I think jupyterhub allows a pre and post start up script that runs when the user pod starts up and that might be useful to do that, but that's about all I know at the moment.

+1 on this feature. I would recommend Python, Jupyter, perhaps an R extension, and RedHat's YAML extension.

I've worked with code-server before. It is relatively straightforward to include extensions in the default install.
