Implement GitHub Actions for Automatic .vsix File Creation and Release
Description:
This pull request introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow dedicated to enhancing our automation capabilities. With this update, whenever new tags are pushed to the repository, a GitHub Actions workflow is triggered to automatically build .vsix files. Upon successful build completion, it then automatically creates a GitHub release and attaches the built .vsix file to it. This automation streamlines the release process, making it more efficient and error-proof.
Additionally, I've updated the .gitignore file to exclude .vsix files from being tracked in the repository. This ensures that our repository remains clean and only contains source code and necessary project files, rather than compiled artifacts.
Key Changes:
GitHub Actions Workflow: A new workflow has been added to .github/workflows that is responsible for building .vsix files upon detecting new tags. This workflow utilizes the GitHub Actions runner's capabilities to automate the build and release process efficiently.
.gitignore Update: Updated the .gitignore file to exclude .vsix files. This prevents accidentally committing compiled artifacts to the repository, keeping our source control cleaner and more manageable.
