The VS Code portion of code-server lives under [`coder/vscode`](https://github.com/coder/vscode). To update VS Code for code-server, follow these steps:

1. `git checkout -b vscode-update` - Create a new branch locally based off `main`
2. `git fetch upstream` - Fetch upstream (VS Code)'s latest `main` branch
3. `git merge upstream/main` - Merge it locally
1. If there are merge conflicts, fix them locally
2. `git fetch upstream` - Fetch upstream (VS Code)'s latest branches
3. `git merge upstream/release/1.64` - Merge it locally
1. replace `1.64` with the version you're upgrading to
1. If there are merge conflicts, commit first, then fix them locally.
4. Open a PR merging your branch (`vscode-update`) into `main` and add the code-server review team

Ideally, our fork stays as close to upstream as possible. See the differences between our fork and upstream [here](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/compare/main...coder:main).
