Building the code

  • Clone the repository
  • Uninstall the Command Palette GitHub Extension (Command Palette has a hard time choosing which extension to use if two versions exist)
  • Open GitHubExtension.sln in Visual Studio 2022 or later and build from the IDE, or run build\scripts\Build.ps1 from a Visual Studio command prompt.

OAuth App

Since secrets cannot be checked in to the repository, developers must create their own test OAuth app for local tests.

Follow this link https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app to create a Git OAuth app (with RedirectUri = "cmdpalghext://oauth_redirect_uri/").

The OAuth App ClientId and ClientSecret can be added as environment variables using the following instructions:

On an elevated cmd window:
    setx GITHUB_CLIENT_ID "Your OAuth App's ClientId" /m
    setx GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET "Your OAuth App's ClientSecret" /m
