Client Usage

After authenticating and providing a machine name, you then have a couple options for connecting to your remote machine:

• Select the vscode.dev link the CLI prints that's connected to your server instance.
• Open vscode.dev or a desktop instance of VS Code directly, and run the command: Remote - Tunnels: Connect to remote... (you may use F1 to open the Command Palette to find this command).
