i want to annotate some function, then i change the source code, how can i use the changed code-server? Thx!!!!!

[im-coder-lg]

There might be a way to build code-server from yarn, but it's unlikely, as they have strange methods of building it. but i think @jsjoeio knows.

[im-coder-lg]

You changed the install.sh? Is it on a GitHub repo?

[qigeqigeqi]

no, i change th lib/vs/..... then i run install.sh, i try to change the function of code-server when the install.sh finish, is it ok?

[im-coder-lg]

Put it on a GitHub repo or fork this one, and apply the changes. Then, type this on Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/lyq1198853167/code-server/blob/main/install.sh | sh

and check if that works.

tar: ./release-standalone: Cannot stat: No such fiile or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

but when i create , it means useless

Well, this can be answered by @jsjoeio or @code-asher.

If you are editing a build/distribution of code-server you can just restart code-server.

But if you are editing the repository source then you'll need to build a new code-server from it. You can find information on how to do this here: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#development-workflow
