## About {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}
You can use your local install of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} to create, manage, work in, and delete codespaces. To use {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, you need to install the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} extension. For more information on setting up Codespaces in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, see "[Prerequisites](#prerequisites)."
By default, if you create a new codespace on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, it will open in the browser. If you would prefer to open any new codespaces in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} automatically, you can set your default editor to be {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}. For more information, see "[Setting your default editor for {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %}](/codespaces/managing-your-codespaces/setting-your-default-editor-for-codespaces)."
If you prefer to work in the browser, but want to continue using your existing {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} extensions, themes, and shortcuts, you can turn on Settings Sync. For more information, see "[Personalizing {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} for your account](/codespaces/customizing-your-codespace/personalizing-codespaces-for-your-account#settings-sync)."
