Top 5 Must-Have VScode Extensions

What’s up, guys Harshith here in this article, I will be sharing the top 10 Vscode extensions that I use to increase my productivity while developing.

Note
Most of the extensions below are not dependent on a specific language or task, but some like LiveServer are.

Prettier

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and CodeLens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via rich visualizations and powerful comparison commands, and so much more.
