+# VSCode setup by IRNAS
+
+![vscode-banner](images/vscode-banner.webp)
+
+## Introduction
+
+This repository contains installation scripts and configuration files for setting up the VSCode
+editor from scratch. The configuration files inside the `dotfiles/.config/Code` are pretty
+opinionated. They are suitable for embedded Zephyr/NCS development, writing Python scripts and
+JavaScript/React Native applications.
+
+The configuration is especially coupled to our `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file in the
+[irnas-zephyr-template] repo, as it sets up formatters, linters and other tools that are used by the
+`pre-commit` tool.
+
+[irnas-zephyr-template]: https://github.com/IRNAS/irnas-zephyr-template/tree/main
+
+## Setup
+
+1. To install VsCode run:
+
+   ```shell
+   ./installation_scripts/install_vscode.sh
+   ```
+
+2. To install all extensions run:
+
+   ```shell
+   ./installation_scripts/install_extensions.sh
+   ```
+
+3. To symlink VSCode settings to its correct location:
+
+   ```shell
+   cd dotfiles
+   ./place_dotfiles.sh
+   ```
+
+4. Open VSCode. All extensions are now installed, all that is left to do is to configure some
+   specific paths, follow instructions in the pop-up notifications.
+
+## Backing up existing settings
+
+If you care about your current VSCode configuration you may want to backup below folders:
+
+On Windows:
+
+- `%APPDATA%\Code`
+- `%USERPROFILE%\.vscode`
+
+On Linux and macOS:
+
+- `$HOME/.config/Code/`
+- `$HOME/.vscode`
+
+### Maintaining your configuration and expected workflow
+
+`place_dotfiles.sh` creates a symlink for the `.config/Code` alongside it to its correct location in
+the `~/` home directory.
+
+This means that whatever changes are made in the `~/.config/Code`, they are reflected in this repo
+and thus visible in the `git` version control system.
+
+Developers can thus:
+
+- fork this repo to their personal GitHub account,
+- start with a good working VSCode configuration,
+- expand it further by their preferences, commit changes and
+- sync with the upstream repo, when they want to fetch new commits.
+
+Developers can also manually copy the things that they want and manually update when they want to.
