MTVaught Dark Theme

A dark color theme for Visual Studio Code.

Development

Prerequisites

Install the vsce packaging tool:

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

Build & Package

Package the theme into a .vsix file:

vsce package

This produces a vscode-mtvaught-dark-theme-<version>.vsix file in the project root.

Install Locally

Install the packaged extension directly in VS Code:

code --install-extension vscode-mtvaught-dark-theme-<version>.vsix

Release Process

Nightly prereleases run from GitHub Actions on a schedule and can also be started manually. The workflow finds the latest successful Build workflow run on main, downloads its VSIX artifact, and creates a GitHub prerelease if that commit has not already been prereleased as nightly-*.

To prepare a stable release, run the Prepare Release workflow manually and choose patch, minor, or major. The workflow updates package.json, creates a version commit and tag, and pushes both to main.

After the Build workflow succeeds for the version commit, run the Release workflow manually and provide the version tag or commit SHA to promote. The workflow downloads the matching Build workflow VSIX artifact and creates a stable GitHub release tagged from the extension version in package.json.

Marketplace publishing is intentionally commented out in the workflows until a VS Code Marketplace publisher account and VSCE_PAT repository secret are set up.
