    Certainly! Here’s a brief explanation without specific code:

    To link an external CSS file to an HTML file in VS Code, follow these steps:

    Create a CSS File:
    Create a new file with a .css extension, such as styles.css. This file will contain your CSS styling rules.

    Write CSS Code:
    Inside the styles.css file, add your CSS styling rules. For instance, you can define styles for elements like body, h1, p, etc.

    Link CSS File to HTML:
    Within the HTML file (index.html or any other HTML file you’re working on), insert a tag in the section. Use the rel="stylesheet" attribute to specify that this file is a stylesheet and href="styles.css" to point to your CSS file.

    Save Changes:
    Save both your CSS file (styles.css) and HTML file (index.html).

    Once linked, the HTML file will reference the external CSS file, and the styles defined within styles.css will be applied to the HTML elements according to the selectors and rules specified in the CSS file.

    To link the CSS to an HTML file, we use the tag inside the HTML section. Your CSS file will look like the image displayed. Let’s look at another example where you add an image using CSS. Make sure that the image file is in the same folder as the CSS and HTML files.

    Below is an example of a button which has been styled using external CSS. I am linking to the CSS using a link tag which contains a rel attribute. The rel attribute describes the relationship of linked content to the HTML you are using. I am also using a link attribute in the code. The link attribute is providing the link to the CSS external file I wish to use in my HTML document.

    For this example, I’m using Bootstrap, a common CSS framework for building HTML layouts, to display a button with styles from an external source.

    The external styles have CSS associated with the classes btn and btn-primary, so I am using these classes to inside of my HTML to apply the CSS located externally within the Bootstrap file I am referencing.

    You can see the difference bellow between the plain button and the styled button:

    <html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
  <h2>Example Buttons</h2>
  <button>Plain Button</button>
  <button class="btn btn-primary">Styled Button</button>
</body>
</html>
