we're going to open visual studio code
and what I'm about to show you works
exactly the same whether you're using
Windows Linux or a Mac we're going to
click the files icon to explore and
we're going to open a folder and the
folder we're gonna open doesn't exist
yet we're going to the desktop and we're
going to create the folder my code you
can of course give it another name as
well now we're going to open this folder
and it's empty and we're gonna create a
file over here and we're gonna call it
index J s and now this file will
automatically open we can close the
Welcome tab and you can see if you check
this the content of the my code folder
there's the index file now we're also
going to open the terminal and this
terminal should be running in the same
folder where these files located and we
can verify by typing PWD and pressing
enter and you can see we're actually in
the desktop and then the my code folder
and that's exactly where we want to
terminal to be so now we can start
coding
