Atlassian for VS Code is published as an Atlassian Labs project. Although you may find unique and highly useful functionality in the Atlassian Labs apps, Atlassian takes no responsibility for your use of these apps.
Atlassian for VS Code brings the functionality of Atlassian products to VS Code. This extension combines the power of Jira and Bitbucket to streamline the developer workflow within VS Code.
