The below list of extensions can be installed in VS Code to save your time in multiple ways and make you a better developer.
1. Live Server
This allows us to automatically reload the web page when you change the code in your IDE.

Open with Live Server[Alt + L + Q]
For Installation
2. Code Spell Checker
This spell checker will report some common spelling errors. This works well with camelCase code.
For Installation
3. GitLens
GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations. It seamlessly navigates and explores Git repositories, gaining valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and so much more.
For Installation
4. Auto Rename Tag
Automatically rename paired HTML/XML tag, same as Visual Studio IDE does. What the Auto Rename Tag extension does is simple, yet so nice to have. This extension automatically renames paired HTML tags. If you are renaming an opening tag it will change the corresponding closing tag. And vice versa.
For Installation
5. Error Lens
ErrorLens turbo-charges language diagnostic features by making diagnostics stand out more prominently, highlighting the entire line wherever a diagnostic is generated by the language and also prints the message inline.
For Installation
6. Live Share
Visual Studio Live Share enables you to collaboratively edit and debug with others in real time, regardless what programming languages you're using or app types you're building. It allows you to instantly (and securely) share your current project, and then as needed, share debugging sessions, terminal instances, localhost web apps, voice calls, and more! Developers that join your sessions receive all of their editor context from your environment (e.g. language services, debugging), which ensures they can start productively collaborating immediately, without needing to clone any repos or install any SDKs.

📸 Take beautiful screenshots of your code in VS Code!
