<![CDATA[Preferred development flow]]>I'm having trouble finding a nice development flow for my M5Stack Core2 with Micropython.
The VS code extension is nice, it includes a file manager but not a REPL for debugging while coding. I can't connect via screen as the resource is busy while Visual Studio Code is open.
Mu works and has a working REPL, but no file manager, so I'd need to manually upload files when needed.

Ideally, I'd like to work on my local files (versioned with Git) and have the IDE upload those to the device (like Arduino IDE does, but with Micropython).

What's your usual way of doing things?

Only drawback is that it does not yet have debug functionality for MicroPython.
