- Installation within the editor: Search for "Helix OpenGig" in the VS Code extension panel.
Activation and Configuration
After installation you need to restart VS Code to activate the plugin. Required for first time use:
- Log in to your OpenGig account (new users need to register)
- Enter promo code OPENGIG200 on the official website (https://helix.opengig.work/) to receive 200 free points!
- Find the Helix icon in the editor sidebar to confirm plugin status
caveat
Network stability affects how well the plugin installs and runs. For enterprise users, it is recommended to check the firewall settings to ensure normal access to OpenGig's cloud services. If the installation fails, try clearing the VS Code cache and retrying.
