Install Remote-SSH

Go to View > Command Pallete (or Ctr+Shift+P) and search for the command Remote-SSH: Connect to host... to run a SSH session or Remote-SSH: Add New SSH Host to persist the host configurations for future usage.
Connect Remote-SSH

Input the hostname and enter. Add password/ssh key location when prompted
Add Remote-SSH

After vscode connects successfully to the hostname, we should see the hostname at the bottom left. Also go to Terminal > New Terminal will give us the direct ssh session with the host.

We then can have our remote workspace run on the host machine. Select File > Open Folder (Ctrl+O) to open the workspace
