====== connect OpenCode to VSCodium ======
VSCodium is a community-driven, fully open-source binary distribution of Visual Studio Code (VS Code), built from the same open-source repository (Code-OSS) but without Microsoft's proprietary components.

===== install opencode plugin =====
The most used opencode plugins for VSCode have issues when installed in VSCodium except //**OpenChamber**//.

in the left sidebar select **Extentions(Ctrl+Shift+X)**
in the search bar type //**OpenChamber**// and in the list press **Install**.

===== set link to opencode instance =====
Now that the plugin is installed we set it up with the URL of the previously installed opencode server.

navigate to **File → Preferences → Settings** 
 
In the window that opens, in the left pane expand **>Exstentions** and select **OpenChamber**

in the field **Api Url** enter ''%%http://localhost:4096%%''.
 
Leave the **Opencode Binary** empty.

===== start =====
Test by pressing the cube like icon in the top right of the VSCodium interface. A panel opens and at the bottom you can choose a model.
