Development Flow:
Any changes to code have to be committed.
When releasing a bugfix, the only thing we have to do is commit the code.
When releasing a development, we have to label the commit with appropriate tag. In case of development, the middle version number is to be incremented and the last (3rd) version number resets to zero.
When releasing a new version containing major changes, we have to label the commit with appropriate tag as well. In case of major release, the first version number is to be incremented and both of the previous version numbers reset to zero.
After committing, the code is built using Azure Pipelines.
The built code is then released using Azure Pipelines. The final, released version of the extension is then uploaded to Visual Studio Marketplace.
