For personal development, GitHub is a good resource for projects and a good point to store your project at. Also storing and sharing snippets is easily possible via GitHub gists.
The GitHub plugin (found here) supports you working with issues and pull requests. Adding, changing and working with issues out of VS Code is nicely integrated.
For more details of the plugin see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github.
Using gists is a nice way to share and store snippets accross projects and with the community. An extension to modify and access gists could be found here. To use it, you need to create a personal access token to access the gists via VS Code.
