Contributing

I have created this extension since there were none to support Xonsh. It is a superset of Python but has breaking syntax definition. So setting language mode as Python will list Syntax errors. This is just a start, adding basic syntax highlight. PRs are welcome. If we can add features from the Python extension it is great editor as well. Our aim is to make the Python extension support xonsh as well. It will happen only when it becomes popular enough.

• Document the purpose of functions and classes.
• When adding a new feature, please mention it in the README.md Features section. Use screenshots when applicable.
• Conventional Commit style should be used for commit messages as it is used to generate changelog.

Development

• TypeScript is used to develop the extension

  yarn install
  yarn build # this will build the extension

• check Extension Quickstart
• husky is used for git hooks
