Handy links

I struggled to find how to generate a token after not doing anything with this project for well over a year:

To get to your token creation, go here:

• https://YOUR_USER_NAME.visualstudio.com/_details/security/tokens

Create a token:

• Name: vsce
• Organisation: All accessible organizations
• show all scopes, select:
  • Marketplace
    • Check Acquire and Manage

Publish with CLI:

# login
vsce login <publisher name>
# install the things
npm i
# use the token created in earlier step
vsce package
# myExtension.vsix generated
# bump version
vsce publish minor # | major | patch
# vsce publish major, minor or patch
vsce publish -p <add created token here>

If you get ERROR Failed request: (401) see here:

Some good documentation on publishing with the CLI:
