Aident Tools for VS Code

Aident Tools is a VS Code extension that bundles common helpers for working on Aident Business Central AL projects.
Instead of juggling PowerShell scripts or remembering container parameters, you invoke a single command from the Command Palette and let the extension handle the heavy lifting.

Typical scenario:

• A new developer joins the project and needs a ready-to-use Docker container.
