tip: do not open the whole thing in vscode, instead, right click one of the subfolders for a particular extension example, choose "open with vscode" and try out or look at the code for a project 'individually'. (to actually run and try a sample instead of just looking at its source code, in each case, a simple "npm install" in the terminal will install all dependencies for any particular example, and then hitting F5 will start the sample in its own window. But you know that already for finishing the basics tutorials ;) hehe)
It gives good examples for distinct and precise aspects of vscode without overwhelming aspects of a full-blown extension which tries to do a dozen things at once.
EKR: After cloning the repo, remember to do
npm installin the repo's top-level directory.Félix: My first recommendation for building good vscode extension development knowledge is to 'git clone' this repo on your pc : https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples
