The Toit language extension also provides helpful commands for the developer, such that you can run or deploy Toit programs on your devices directly from Visual Studio Code.
When you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code, get the language extension for Toit either from the Visual Studio marketplace or from the open marketplace.
