Developer Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/robertarles/notekeep.vscode.git
    
  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd notekeep.vscode

Manual Installation for Local Testing

To test the extension locally without launching a separate development host, you can package it and install it manually.

  1. Package the extension: Run the packaging script from the project root:

    npm run package
    

    This will create a .vsix file (e.g., notekeep.vscode-0.0.1.vsix).

  2. Install the VSIX file: In VS Code, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and run the "Extensions: Install from VSIX..." command. Select the .vsix file you just created.

  3. Reload VS Code: After installation, you will be prompted to reload VS Code to activate the extension.
