Advantages relative to IAR Editor? It let you navigate your IAR code much faster, with proper feature like a modern IDE, while IAR Workbench is slow and sometime it doesn't work at all (navigate trough code or autocompletation) Without extension you would need to edit the "c_cpp_properties.json" file manually, wich is a nightmare to do. It also let you compile and debug it, but that's a side feature.

Thanks on the quick answer. I will give it a try. Is there a git plugin for IAR IDE ? What is the best practice when working git and IAR IDE.

Thanks

I believe there is an official support for git already built in in IAR. I use vscode also for git management, I found it very easy and fast. Plus I could run also other kind of code belonging to the same firmware project, like unit test, HIL and simulations!
