Using Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio is a very large application (up to 200 GB) that requires 16GB of RAM to run comfortably. It is also difficult to install, with the installation taking several hours.

You may need to install the .NET SDK 6.0 and .NET SDK 3.1 for console applications.

You may need to install Git to use Git inside VS-Code

Visual Studio Code on the other hand is a much smaller application and can be used as an alternative.
