I often wanted to code in VS Code while using Google Colab or Kaggle runtimes, but getting a clean connection without weird hacks was messy.
So I built [`vscode-colab`](https://github.com/EssenceSentry/vscode-colab): a tiny Python library that uses official VS Code Remote Tunnels to connect Colab/Kaggle sessions to your local or web VS Code securely.
- No SSH hacks
- No 3rd party servers
- Just `pip install`, `login()`, `connect()`, done.
You can clone and push to private GitHub repos directly once connected (thanks to GitHub auth).
Works even in Kaggle (with a fallback if clipboard access fails).
