+# Visual Studio Code Development
+
+[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) is a great and simple IDE
+that can be used to build & develop with for Matter.
+
+Matter supports the docker / remote container workflow in Visual Studio Code,
+and has a container environment setup automatically. You can read more about
+this workflow [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers).
+
+Tested on:
+
+-   Windows 11 Pro + WSL 2 + Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+-   Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+Follow
+[these](https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/edit/master/docs/VSCODE_DEVELOPMENT.md)
+steps to set up Visual Studio Code for Matter development.
+
+### Linux <a name="linux">
+
+For Espressif esp32 devices:
+
+1. Connect your device to the system before running the container.
+
+1. Add `"--device=/dev/ttyUSB0",` inside runArgs in
+   [devcontainer.json](../../../.devcontainer/devcontainer.json). Confirm the
+   port of the device and change the parameter accordingly.
+
+1. On opening connectedhomeip in Visual Studio code, At the bottom right of your
+   window you should have a new box prompting you to re-open the window as a
+   container. Hit yes.
+
+1. The container will be built.
+
+1. Install esp-idf : `cd /opt/espressif/esp-idf && ./install.sh`
+
+1. Source esp-idf : `source /opt/espressif/esp-idf/export.sh`
+
+1. Activate matter :
+   `cd /workspaces/connectedhomeip && source scripts/bootstrap.sh && source scripts/activate.sh`
+
+1. Confirm that the device is accessible : `ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*`
+
+1. Go to lighting_example : `cd examples/lighting-app/esp32`
+
+1. Set-target: `idf.py set-target esp32c3`
+
+1. Build the project: `idf.py build`
+
+1. Flash: `idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash`
+
+1. Monitor: `idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 monitor`
+
+### Windows
+
+1. Connect to WSL Distro from VS Code.
+
+1. Git clone inside WSL from Matter repository here:
+   <https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip>
+
+1. Follow [these](https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win) steps on Windows and
+   [these](https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/docs/WSL.md#usbipd)
+   steps in WSL to have serial port access inside WSL.
+
+1. Confirm that the device is accessible inside WSL : `ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*`.
+
+1. Open connectedhomeip within WSL on Visual Studio Code.
+
+1. Perform step 2 onwards from [Linux](#linux) guide.
