Non-Nullable Property Code Snippet Sharing?

[meghanmae]

I created a snippet for non-nullable property declarations, is there a way to share this?

I don't think we have an IntelliTect snippet repo, but several of us share our dotfiles on GitHub (https://github.com/SteveByerly/dotfiles, https://github.com/adamskt/danja-zown, Kevin has his in OneDrive) Additionally, there are things that inherit from CodeFixProvider in https://github.com/IntelliTect/CodingGuidelines/tree/master/IntelliTect.Analyzer/IntelliTect.Analyzer/CodeFixes

I think we should look at adding snippets to these repos. I have moved away from R# so have found myself wanting these more and more.

As per discussion we need to do the following:

• Create new VSIX package to distribute/update snippets
• Create new build pipeline for VSIX
• Create new release pipeline for VSIX
  • Need to determine appropriate output location. Consider Visual Studio Marketplace place as a first choice option, Azure artifacts or GitHub would be secondary choices.
• Document/automate getting started process for developing snippets/VISX

This has been added to snippets. https://github.com/IntelliTect/IntelliTect.Snippets
