Visual Studio Code’s Latest Update Has Better Git and Language Support
Visual Studio Code, the Popular Development and IDE text editor, has deployed its large version of July 2025. The V1.103 update adds new Git and Terminal integrations, better linguistic media, etc.
The July 2025 update now has full support for Git Worktree, allowing you to consult several branches at the same time and test the modifications without changing context. The blog post explained: “When opening a file or a workspace which contains a Git repository, we now automatically detect worktree and display in the view of source control standards. You can now display, create, delete and open worktrees in a new or current window using commands available from the order palette or the source control view. ”
The suggestions of terminals fueled by linguistic servers (LSP) now display online documentation, just as you could see when entering an editor. An example that Microsoft has shown was to open a new Python session in terminal and striking commands – suggestions and documentation windows are like those of Python code writing in a publisher’s file.
Regarding language management, the Visual Studio code now includes types Script 5.9.2, the integration of Shell for Python 3.13 and more recent, and extensible shells for JavaScript and Typescript. This last change gives you a small icon + on the contextual windows for the function / type definitions, and when you click on it, more components are revealed.
The blog post explained: “The boards can be extended several times, which develops types recursively from the previous expansion. If you develop too much, simply select the icon to return to the previous level. Also keep in mind that not all types are expandable and that we always need some limits on the amount of expansion that we can support. ”
Characteristics of AI
Finally, there are some features linked to AI in this version. OPENAI has just published its new GPT models – 5 AI, and Microsoft has already deployed them to pay customers from Github Copilot. If you are in this group, you can now choose GPT – 5 in the Picker Model for your cat conversations. A free github account still gets 2,000 additional code supplements and 50 cat requests per month, with access to GPT – 4O and Claude 3.5 Sonnet models.
Visual Studio Code also has control points for AI chat conversations, allowing you to easily reintegrate the changes made to your files in conversations. There are also now tasks lists, with the possibility of giving an AI agent a task, and the management of authentication and MCP outputs has been improved.
Get the Visual Studio code
You can download Visual Studio Code on the official website. It is available on Windows 10 and later, MacOS 11 and more, and various Linux distributions. The Windows version is available in the X86 and 64 -bit ARM versions, and the MacOS application has Intel and Apple Silicon versions. The Visual Studio Code for Linux is available on a 32 -bit arm, a 64 -bit arm and an X86 64 bit – even these Raspberry Pi cards can try it.
If the Visual Studio code is already installed, you can check the updates by navigating to help> Check updates on Linux and Windows, or Code> Check updates on MacOS. It will also update automatically the next time you restart the code, unless you turn off this parameter.
