Choosing environments in VSCode

Tooling VS Code

  1. What is the difference between starting a Julia REPL in VSCode and activating the environment of the folder with Pkg versus clicking on the “Julia env” button as described in the docs?

  1. The button performs additional steps other than activating the env?

  2. What is the easiest method to share a project folder with students and instantiate the project within VSCode?

I have a nice experience in just making the course project a regular package (not registered). Then the students can just add the package and use it. With the plus that the documentation of the “package” can work as a tutorial.

This is what I do here, for instance: Início · FundamentosDMC.jl

Thanks for sharing this approach. I am curious if VSCode itself provides helpers to instantiate a project folder that doesn’t contain a package.
