Releasing

Bump version

Modify package.json and modify the version value.

Run npm install to sync to version change into package-lock.json file.

Modify CHANGELOG and README file if required.

Create a commit named Bump version and update changelog on master branch.

git commit -m "Bump version and update changelog"

Create an annotation tag on that commit and push tag.

git tag -s "v<version>" -m "Version <version>"
git push --tags

Publish

Here we will both publish onto marketplace and create a GitHub release.

Install vsce if it's not installed yet.

npm install vsce

Login into Visual Studio Marketplace and publish the package

vsce login wdhongtw
vsce publish

See https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension if any problem happens.

Or goto https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/manage/publishers/wdhongtw to publish new version with the web UI.

Now, Generate new package file.

# This command should generate a .vsix file
vsce package

Go to Releases page on GitHub, Create a new release on the new tag, and publish the new package.

• Set release title to Version <version>.
• Add some description if applicable (e.g. from changelog).
• Select the new package file (.vsix) to upload
• Mark This is a pre-release if we are still on 0.x.x
