Overview
VSCodium is not a fork: it's a set of scripts that builds Microsoft's open-source vscode repository into MIT-licensed binaries with a community-driven default configuration. Microsoft's own VS Code releases use a non-open-source license and include telemetry.
What it does well
VSCodium works like VS Code, without the Microsoft-specific telemetry and customisations. It installs through Homebrew, WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, snap, Flatpak and Linux package managers, and offers stable and insiders builds.
Why it’s in the collection
VSCodium is the simplest way to keep using VS Code while staying on a fully open-source build. It is MIT-licensed.
