Compiling 🏗️

During development, you can run a watcher to continuously check for changes and compile the extension:

npm run watch-dev

or do a standalone compilation via:

npm run compile-dev

👉 Tip! You can press CTRL+SHIFT+B (CMD+SHIFT+B on Mac) to start the watch task.

Developing & Debugging 🐞️

You can now start writing code, the watcher task, if not running, will automatically start when debugging. You can actively debug the extension by pressing F5 with Launch Extension selected.
