Remote SSH: Effortlessly Connect Your Virtual Machine to VSCode

Description:
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to connect a virtual machine running on your local computer to Visual Studio Code using the Remote - SSH extension. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Spin up the VM: Get your virtual machine up and running on your local machine.

2. Create SSH Key Pair: Generate an SSH key pair on your local machine and copy the public key to the VM's authorized keys file.

3. Configure SSH: Add a configuration for the VM in the "~/.ssh/config" file on your local machine. This includes:
Host: A name you choose for the VM.
HostName: The IP address or domain of the VM.
User: Your VM's current user.
IdentityFile: The path to the public key copied to VM.

4. Setup Remote-SSH: Search for the Remote - SSH extension in the VSCode Extensions marketplace and install it.

5. Connect to Host: Open the command palette in VSCode, search for "Remote - SSH: Connect to Host", and select the host as configured in your "~/.ssh/config" file to access your VM.

Watch to see the detailed steps and ensure your setup is seamless.
