OCI Code Editor and CLI Utility Guide

This guide walks through how to use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Code Editor and basic OCI CLI commands from within the Code Editor environment. You’ll learn how to launch the Code Editor, create and edit files, run shell scripts, and execute OCI CLI commands—all from within the browser-based IDE.

OCI Code Editor provides an in-console editing environment tightly integrated with Cloud Shell, Git, and OCI services, helping developers and cloud engineers make quick code changes without switching tools.

Prerequisites

Before starting this lab, ensure:
