When to use it
- Development Environment Setup: Automate the process of configuring VS Code's ports when setting up a new development environment.
- Port Conflict Resolution: Resolve situations where VS Code cannot start due to port conflicts with other applications.
- Remote Development: Ensure consistent and reliable port forwarding for remote development scenarios.
- Automated Builds: Integrate port configuration into automated build processes to guarantee predictable behavior.
