Pull Upstream vscode-server Changes
Ports changes from rstudio/vscode-server into Positron as a single "upstream merge from vscode-server" commit. A full git merge is not possible — the two repos are parallel VSCode forks with no shared git ancestry — so changes are applied manually and bundled into one commit.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Pulling new bug fixes or features from
rstudio/vscode-serverinto Positron - Deciding which upstream commits are relevant to port
Prerequisites
The upstream remote must be configured:
git remote -v # should show: upstream → git@github.com:rstudio/vscode-server.git (push disabled)
