VS Code Live Server Extension: How to Auto Reload Your Browser?
In this video, the Live Server Extension of VS Code is covered for setting up and configuring the browser auto-refreshing feature.
Visual Studio Code is today’s one of the most popular and preferred editors for coding. I’m a Frontend Web Developer and also using VS Code personally on my channel. While I’m coding, many people are asking a common question which is that, how does the browser gets refreshed automatically, without clicking the reload button.
This is possible if you configure a nice extension to your VS Code which is called the live-server. In this video, I have explained the details of it and how to set up and configure a live server to your VS Code editor.

Visual Studio Code is one of the most popular code editors out there. It’s free, it has a clean interface, and it has countless extensions which make programming easier and more fun.
I’m a frontend web developer and I use VS Code while I work and on my YouTube channel. I’ve had many people ask me how the browser gets refreshed automatically while I’m coding, without clicking the reload button.
Well, this is possible if you configure a useful extension in VS Code called live-server. In this post, I will explain the details of how it works and how to set up and configure a live server in your VS Code editor.
Why should I use the live-server extension?
Normally, when you make a change in your code or write something new, you need to refresh the page manually to see the changes.
In other words, if you make 100 changes in your code each day, you need to refresh the browser 100 times.
The live-server extension, however, automates this for you. After installing it, an automated localhost will be able to run in your browser, which you can start with a single button.
Once you make changes in your code or write something new, after saving it, the browser will auto-refresh itself. Then you will be able to see the changes quickly and automatically.
First, Install VS Code
You can skip this part if you have already installed VS Code on your computer. Otherwise, you can download it from its official website.
Visual Studio Code Official Website
After you’ve downloaded and installed VS Code, you are going to see the welcome screen:
On the left side, you should see a couple of icons. One of them (under the no bugs icon) is the extensions button:
Once you click on it a search bar will appear. Just type in “live server”.
You will see many options, so you can choose whichever one works for your system. I use Live Server by Ritwick Dey, so let’s continue with that one in this example:
Click on the install button and it will install the extension.
Create a New HTML Page
To start the live server, make sure you at least have an HTML page created. To do that, click on the file button at the very top, then choose the new file button and type index.html:
New File Icon with Plus Sign (2nd from left)
Configuration Issues
Now after you created an HTML page and installed the extension you should be able to see a “Go Live” icon right below in the blue field:
If you don’t see it just restart VS Code. Then it should be OK.
Click on the “Go Live” button and the localhost (assigned to a port number) should start on your default browser. You can start and stop your live server anytime by clicking on the same button.

Static Code Analysis: What It Is? How to Use It?
Static code analysis refers to the technique of approximating the runtime behavior of a program. In other words, it is the process of predicting the output of a program without actually executing it.
Lately, however, the term “Static Code Analysis” is more commonly used to refer to one of the applications of this technique rather than the technique itself — program comprehension — understanding the program and detecting issues in it (anything from syntax errors to type mismatches, performance hogs likely bugs, security loopholes, etc.). This is the usage we’d be referring to throughout this post.
“The refinement of techniques for the prompt discovery of error serves as well as any other as a hallmark of what we mean by science.”
- J. Robert Oppenheimer
Outline
We cover a lot of ground in this post. The aim is to build an understanding of static code analysis and to equip you with the basic theory, and the right tools so that you can write analyzers on your own.
We start our journey with laying down the essential parts of the pipeline which a compiler follows to understand what a piece of code does. We learn where to tap points in this pipeline to plug in our analyzers and extract meaningful information. In the latter half, we get our feet wet, and write four such static analyzers, completely from scratch, in Python.
Note that although the ideas here are discussed in light of Python, static code analyzers across all programming languages are carved out along similar lines. We chose Python because of the availability of an easy to use ast module, and wide adoption of the language itself.
How does it all work?
Before a computer can finally “understand” and execute a piece of code, it goes through a series of complicated transformations:
As you can see in the diagram (go ahead, zoom it!), the static analyzers feed on the output of these stages. To be able to better understand the static analysis techniques, let’s look at each of these steps in some more detail:
Scanning
The first thing that a compiler does when trying to understand a piece of code is to break it down into smaller chunks, also known as tokens. Tokens are akin to what words are in a language.
A token might consist of either a single character, like (, or literals (like integers, strings, e.g., 7, Bob, etc.), or reserved keywords of that language (e.g, def in Python). Characters which do not contribute towards the semantics of a program, like trailing whitespace, comments, etc. are often discarded by the scanner.
Python provides the tokenize module in its standard library to let you play around with tokens:
Python
1
import io
2
import tokenize
3
4
code = b"color = input('Enter your favourite color: ')"
5
6
for token in tokenize.tokenize(io.BytesIO(code).readline):
7
print(token)
Python
1
TokenInfo(type=62 (ENCODING), string='utf-8')
2
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='color')
3
TokenInfo(type=54 (OP), string='=')
4
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='input')
5
TokenInfo(type=54 (OP), string='(')
6
TokenInfo(type=3 (STRING), string="'Enter your favourite color: '")
7
TokenInfo(type=54 (OP), string=')')
8
TokenInfo(type=4 (NEWLINE), string='')
9
TokenInfo(type=0 (ENDMARKER), string='')
(Note that for the sake of readability, I’ve omitted a few columns from the result above — metadata like starting index, ending index, a copy of the line on which a token occurs, etc.)

How we created a GitLab Workflow Extension for VS Code
The people who work at GitLab are encouraged to build the things they want and need, which helps us expand the ways we work with our growing product. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve created an official GitLab Workflow Extension for VS Code.
How did we get here?
More than two years ago, Fatih Acet, a former senior frontend engineer, Plan, started working on a VS Code extension to allow users to interact with GitLab from within their code editor. At GitLab, everything starts with a Merge Request, which is exactly how Fatih started building the extension. Fatih, along with more than 25 contributors, continued to expand on the extension by adding new features. The extension has been installed more than 160,000 times.
It’s been remarkable to see the way the community collaborated to build the extension, making it a tool that is valuable to their work. The GitLab Workflow Extension is the perfect case study of how developers can create meaningful work at this company.
When Fatih decided to move on from GitLab in March 2020, we had an opportunity to take over the GitLab Workflow Extension, turning it into a tool GitLab would officially maintain and support. We jumped at the opportunity to maintain an auxilary project outside of the main GitLab project. As we continue to move fast and create the best experiences possible for our users, we expect this extension to become a key component of our strategy.
How to use the extension
If you want to start using the extension, you can install it from within VS Code directly by searching for GitLab Workflow which is now published through an official GitLab account.
If you were already using the extension, it automatically updated to the GitLab publisher, and you might have already seen a few updates coming in.
What improvements have we made?
When we took over the extension, we worked with other teams across GitLab to immediately perform an application security review. Along the way, we made sure to create a security release-process. We did this to ensure that users were safe to continue using the extension and so that we could fix any problems that surface. We also worked through some automation to help with publishing the extension and begin to lay a foundation for future testing.
We also shipped version 3.0.0 which was spearheaded by our community and helped to resolve some long-standing bugs and issues. The extension has come a long way in just a few short weeks. We’re excited by the progress we’re making and the engagement we’re continuing to see, but there is still a lot that needs to be done.
What’s next?
Nothing in software development is perfect, and so we are aware of the shortcomings of the extension, some inconsistencies, and some long open feature requests. You can see our many to-dos on our GitLab Workflow Extension issues list. For now, we’re focused on triaging the existing issues and capturing any new bugs. You should see much more involvement from our Create: Editor team as we continue these efforts, and we’re looking forward to engaging with the community on these items.
We’re also evaluating the best path forward for maintaining the extension, by focusing on the test-suite and code-quality, so we won’t break things by accident. You can join us in our discussion on this issue. While this might slow down some new feature releases in the short-term, we’re confident these are the right long-term decisions to ensure you have an extension you can trust, so you can make the GitLab Extension an integral part of your workflow.
Everyone can contribute
The extension is open source, and we’re improving the “How to Contribute” guides alongside some other documentation. We want to have a space where everyone can contribute and make this extension better for all of us.
