Setting up Your Development Environment

To make management of the client and server easier, lerna will be used, so install it below and run the bootstrap script.

npm install -g lerna # yarn global add lerna
npm run dev:bootstrap # yarn dev:bootstrap

Creating a Local Version

While you can build your changes manually and copy over files into your extension directory (`~/.vscode/extensions), it's easier to let the VSCode Extension Manager do the grunt work:

0. Install vsce package - npm install -g vsce
1. run vsce package to create a .vsix file in your folder
2. Go to Extension tab in vscode sidebar.
3. Click on the ... in the top menu.
4. Choose Select from vsix....
5. Locate the *.vsix file generated above.

Alternatively if you prefer the CLI use code command:

code --install-extension imba-*.vsix

Enjoy!
