+Configuration for VS Code
+=========================
+
+[VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) is a lightweight but powerful source
+code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for
+[Windows](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows),
+[macOS](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac) and
+[Linux](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux). Among other languages,
+it has [support for C/C++ via an extension](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools).
+
+To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called
+`init.sh` in this directory, which creates the configuration files in
+`.vscode/` that VS Code consumes. `init.sh` needs access to `make` and `gcc`,
+so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
