IDE & Editor — CodexHow

The Codex CLI lives in a terminal, and most developers don't work purely in a terminal. This section covers running it well alongside an editor — inside a VS Code terminal, with git worktrees for parallel sessions, reviewing its diffs where you already review everyone else's, and the handful of workflow choices that make CLI-plus-editor feel like one workflow instead of two competing ones.

None of these guides assume a specific editor beyond what's named in the title — the underlying pattern (a dedicated terminal profile, a worktree per parallel session, reviewing diffs where you already review code) transfers to most modern editors with only the exact keybindings changing.
