Edit: Dammit, I miss the VSCode html snippets extension. Love hate relationship with VSCode.. xD

Configuring projects in VSCode is incredibly annoying a lot of the time, especially when you are building projects in many different types of frameworks. It's great when you first start if you're sticking only to one thing and have a mentor to teach you, but once you use an IDE like any of JetBrains stuff, you'll never go back. People pay for WebStorm, PHPStorm, PyCharm for a reason..

I've spent way too many hours bleeding through my eyes trying to set up projects, configuring extensions and whatnot (especially ESLint and Prettier).

For example, in a Vue project, the "go to definition" doesn't work in .vue files.. (at least for me it didn't).

Open up PyCharm, BAM, just comes integrated with no problems.

Never going back. <3

Before you VSCode lovers jump on me, tell me, have you tried a JetBrains IDE for a full project?

That is all

I tried a bunch of other methods and none worked.

Go to github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases

Scroll down to "Assets" and click it to expand and see the
downloadables.

Download the .deb, .rpm, .snap or .AppImage depending on which
distribution you're running.

run the command

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/whicheverfileYouJustDownloaded

Enjoy your GH Desktop on Linux!
