You can use Google Colab in VS Code . Now , You can learn how to setup Google Colab in VS Code.

There are two ways to do it :

1. Colab connecting to local runtime in VS Code
2. Installing Jupiter and google.colab modules

Colab connecting to local runtime in VS Code

1. Install Jupyter on your local machine.

2. Install and enable the jupyter_http_over_ws jupyter extension (one-time)
   The jupyter_http_over_ws extension is authored by the
   Colaboratory team and available on GitHub.
   pip install jupyter_http_over_ws
jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyter_http_over_ws

3. Start server and authenticate
   New notebook servers are started normally, though you will need to set a flag to explicitly trust WebSocket connections from the Colaboratory frontend.
   jupyter notebook \ --NotebookApp.allow_origin='https://colab.research.google.com' \ --port=8888 \ --NotebookApp.port_retries=0
   Once the server has started, it will print a message with the initial backend URL used for authentication. Make a copy of this URL as you'll need to provide this in the next step.

4. Connect to the local runtime
   In Colaboratory, click the "Connect" button and select "Connect to local runtime...". Enter the URL from the previous step in the dialog that appears and click the "Connect" button. After this, you should now be connected to your local runtime.

5. Install Jupyter Extension in VS Code.

6. Setup colab in VS Code.
   Press F1 to open command palette , and type Jupyter: Specify Jupyter server for connections than select that option.
   
   Then Click on Existing. Enter the URL from the previous step-4 , you copied.
