Thank you for your interest in contributing! This guide explains how to propose changes and how to build and publish a new release.

How to Contribute

  1. Fork the repository and create a feature branch.
  2. Make your changes and ensure all tests pass: 
    npm run lint
npm run test
  3. Open a Pull Request targeting the main branch.

Building a Release

Releases are published to the VSCode Marketplace and require the following steps:

1. Prepare a Pull Request

  • Bump the version in package.json (e.g., from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1).
  • Generate the changelog for the new version: 
    uv tool run towncrier build --version=<new-version> --yes
  • Commit the updated package.json and CHANGELOG.md.
  • Open a PR with these changes and wait for it to be reviewed and merged into main.

2. Tag the Release

Once your PR is merged:

  • Create a new git tag for the release: 
    git tag v<new-version>
git push --tags

This will trigger CI to publish the extension to the VSCode Marketplace.

Additional Notes

  • Ensure your PR includes only relevant changes for the release.
  • All code must pass linting and tests before merging.
  • For questions, open an issue or ask in the project discussions.
