• .vscode/launch.json

  • VSCode does not support debugging with browser's installed via snaps or flatpak, without serious user intervention. Since the firefox deb package actually installs via snaps, our only choice is to install the chrome deb package

    1. uninstall chrome flatpak

       • flatpak uninstall com.google.Chrome

    2. install chrome using deb package

       • download from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser-tools/
       • find the file you just downloaded and right click
       • select Open With >> Discover
       • inside of Discover press the "Install" button

  • .gitignore

    this file tells git to ignore certain files
