5 code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for
6 [Windows](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows),
7 [macOS](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac) and
8 [Linux](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux). Among other languages,

15 To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called
16 `init.sh` in this directory, which creates the configuration files in
17 `.vscode/` that VS Code consumes. `init.sh` needs access to `make` and `gcc`,
18 so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
