To get started with VS Code try a tutorial, such as this one. The program itself will also give you some tips.

Some basic tips to get started: 1. Link VS Code with your GitHub account 2. Open a repository, such as Lab-Handbook 3. Try out the terminal (e.g. try echo $SHELL to see which shell your computer runs by default) 4. Install the Python extension 5. Create an environment 6. Use the debugger. You can copy Resources/debug_me.py to try it out! If you want, you can create a new project repo that you will also use for the pytorch tutorial as part of your first project.
