To add more commands to your extension, edit the package.json located in the /packages/extension directory, and use the keys in your extension.ts file using vscode.commands.registerCommand method.
๐ง How it works

The project is built with monorepo structure containing two packages. The first one being the client, and the second being the visual studio code extension program.
when you start developing on the /packages/client/ vue application directory, your changes will be watched using nodemon, then rebuilt and be opened inside vscode extension host ready to be used with vscode command pallet!
Here you can see your vue project already built and injected using vscode webview API. you can utilize the full functionality of vue such as its amazing reactivity and its available additions (like vue-router) out of the box!
Inside the vue application code, the vscode object is globally accessible and can be used to send messages to the vscode runtime and perform tasks such as read/writing files, etc.
