Notes
VS Code decorations can render a stable info column before code and provide hover details, but they cannot fully reproduce GoLand's clickable gutter text. Easy Git therefore takes the closest practical approach:
- A fixed blame column before code
- Time-bucketed colors with stronger contrast
- Commit actions through hover links and the command palette
Development
npm install
npm run compile
npm test
Press F5 to launch the extension development host.
Open VSX Publishing
The repo includes a PowerShell helper script for Open VSX publishing:
npm run package:vsix
npm run publish:openvsx
If you need to create the publisher namespace first:
npm run publish:openvsx:namespace
The script reads the token from OPENVSX_TOKEN or OVSX_PAT, and it also supports passing -Token manually to ./scripts/publish-openvsx.ps1.
GitHub Actions
The repository includes an automated Open VSX workflow at .github/workflows/publish-openvsx.yml.
- Trigger: pushing a tag like
v1.0.1
- Manual trigger: GitHub Actions
workflow_dispatch
- Required secret:
OPENVSX_TOKEN
Once OPENVSX_TOKEN is configured in the repository secrets, pushing a new version tag will automatically lint, test, package, and publish the extension to Open VSX.
