VS Code on my Phone (How I did it)

I setup vscode on my mobile and started coding. Normally programming like this is only possible on a desktop.

But there is a great way to start doing HTML, CSS, JS right on your phone, tablet, via WiFi or Internet!

This was fun!

This was used with the package: Code Server
https://github.com/cdr/code-server

It can be done with literally two lines of code:
Installation:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

Bring it online:

code-server --link

Of course, if you don't have a physical machine, you can still run this up on a free Amazon and Google cloud platform on the free tier. This allows you to run VS Code on iPad, iPhone, Android, etc.

I have a full video that is covering the whole setup if you're interested.

Here is the Twitter post which went off with lots of comments!!!

On Android, you can install Termux then run above commands so you don't even need a WiFi or hosting it online, it would run locally with 127.0.0.1 IP address.

I'd also recommend Hacker's Keyboard for Android. It provides a full keyboard keyset (modifier keys, function keys, navigation keys, ext). SSHing with Termux is a lot more easier when you can make use of your keyboard shortcuts.

True, but this method of hosting server on PC can help you edit PC files.
Reverse can be done if hosted from phone.

This is not an issue if you are using Git.

How can I root my phone to use termux, when I created folders on termux, I would not see it on my phone. I tried couple of videos but I'm still not able to do it.

I will be grateful for your help

You don’t need to root your phone you can get termux from fdroid website once you install it on your phone termux has it's own folder and you can also cd to another directory where you have created your file and folder from normal apps like files or your preferred code editor

Unfortunate that Monaco editor is not supported in mobile. But this is cool though.
