> `codemp` is a **collaborative** text editing solution to work remotely.

It seamlessly integrates in your editor providing remote cursors and instant text synchronization,
as well as a remote virtual workspace for you and your team.

# codemp-vscode

This is the reference codemp [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) plugin maintained by [hexedtech](https://hexed.technology)

# installation
**Install from [Visual Studio Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hexedtech.codemp): `ext install hexedtech.codemp`**

Automatically built artifacts are available for download (to logged-in GitHub users) under [our Workflows page](https://github.com/hexedtech/codemp-vscode/actions/workflows/publish.yml).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Remember to configure your credentials after installing!

To connect to the main `code.mp` server, you [will need an account](https://code.mp/signup).

# usage
To use `codemp`, you should first join a workspace. From inside, it's possible to share local files or fetch remote files, always keeping them in sync.

> [!TIP]
> Your current workspace directory is used as root for `codemp` files, which are relative paths.

Most actions can be performed from the `codemp` sidebar with contextual buttons.
