More Info

HDL Tools

One-click install for the HDL-* VS Code extensions. Installing this pack installs:

Extension What it does
HDL-AutoDoc-Lite Generates documentation from your HDL source.
HDL Log Lens Turns HDL tool logs (NVC, Verilator, Yosys, nextpnr) into clickable VS Code problems.
HDL Outliner Sidebar outline of SV/Verilog/VHDL files: instances, types, constants, signals.

The extensions stay independent. Uninstalling the pack leaves them installed, and each updates on its own.

Releasing

Push a tag vX.Y.Z that matches package.json's version. The Publish workflow packages the pack and publishes it to the Marketplace (trusted publishing, no token) and attaches the .vsix to a GitHub release.

To add an extension to the pack, add its ID to extensionPack in package.json and the table above.
