Frequently Anticipated Questions for Thonny Users

Why use the MPRemote Visual Studio Code extension instead of Thonny?

Thonny is a great piece of software. I would be happily using Thonny for all my MicroPython projects, except for one thing: lack of git features.

VSCode integrates nicely with git, but Thonny does a better job as an all-in-one point and click MicroPython tool.

MPRemote, the MicroPython command-line tool can do everything Thonny can do. The downside is it's all command-line based and I dislike having to remember command-line options and typing at a prompt in general.

So, the MPRemote VS Code extension is my solution for that. But there is a learning curve. This FAQ is here to address that.
