This is an extension for VS Code that allows you to easily run tasks from the status bar. Any task that can be executed from the quicklaunch bar ("task abc") can be used.

To add tasks you will need to add/modify the "taskButtons.buttons" configuration item in your VS Code's settings.json:

{
    "taskButtons.buttons": [
        {
            "task": "test",
            "buttonLabel": "Unit Tests $(beaker)"
        }
    ]
}

Where each button's task is the VS Code recognized task name, and buttonLabel is an optional custom label for the button (includes octicon icon support).
