Step 2: Setup your environment

We will use the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code. You will take advantage of IDE features like auto-complete, contextual help and jump-to-definition.

Don't worry, you'll do this setup only once, and you'll be able to use it for future CodeQL development.

Follow the instructions below.
