Add or remove IDE extensions

- How IDE extensions work in workspaces
IDE extensions in in OpenShift Dev Spaces workspaces use an Open VSX registry instance that controls which extensions are available, trusted, and pre-installed. Extension management supports air-gapped environments, security policies, and consistent tooling. - Use an alternative extension registry
Use an alternative Open VSX registry instance instead of the default embedded registry. Switch to the public open-vsx.org registry for internet-connected environments, or to a standalone on-premises instance for full control over available extensions. - Add or remove extensions in a workspace
Add or remove extensions in the embedded Open VSX registry instance directly within a workspace to create a custom extension catalog for your organization. - Add or remove extensions from the Linux command line
Add or remove extensions in a custom plugin registry from the Linux command line to create a tailored Open VSX registry with the specific extensions your organization needs.
