Delta — VS Code Extension
Launches the Delta TUI directly inside VS Code's integrated terminal.
Workflow
workspace root
├── justfile / Makefile ← build automation
└── vscode-extension/
└── bin/
└── delta.exe ← populated by `just build`
Build the binary + extension in one step
# Preferred (requires `just`)
just package
# Fallback
make package
just build alone is enough to get delta.exe in place for testing.
Test without packaging
- Open the
vscode-extension/ folder in VS Code
- Run
npm install then press F5 — an Extension Development Host opens
- Hit Ctrl+Alt+D or search "Launch Delta" in the command palette
Distribute
just package # produces delta-0.1.0.vsix
Share the .vsix — recipients install it via
Extensions panel → ··· → Install from VSIX…
