Getting started workflow guidance

I might have misfiled this one. I found this in a search involving VSCode. Looking more for modding VS Code extensions, tooling, than anything else.

Mainly I am interested in practical examples of this, if possible. That would be helpful.

This helps to streamline modding workflow? Can it be used in combination with extensions such as armake2, etc?

Anyway, still have some questions I am not as clear concerning:

"clientDirs": {
    "description": "A list of all client folders (usually one) a pbo file should be generated and signed for"
},

"serverDirs": {
    "description": "A list of all server folders a pbo file should be generated for"
},

Not sure how client/server directories quite applies? Is there a particular protocol that A3 will use? I see, for instance, addons, sometimes.

"clientMods": {
    "type":"array",
    "description": "Additional mods to include when starting the arma3 client"
},

As in mod dependencies? How are they named? By whatever workshop ID was used, i.e. @MyMod?

"postProcess": {
    "type": "object",
    "description": "Used to run additional scripts, once a commend has been executed",
    "properties": {
        "packFolders": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "Define a script to run after all folders have been packed"
        },
        "transferFiles": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "Define a script to run after all files are transfered to the remote"
        },
        "runClient": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "Define a script to run after arma is started"
        },
        "runClientAndLog": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "Define a script to run after arma is started (with logfile opened)"
        },
        "generateKey": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "Define a script to run after a bikey has been generated"
        }
    }
}

Post processing sounds interesting. Q: to which remote? Does a bikey always get generated? Or just running batch, PowerShell, or other scripts in a command shell?

Still not clear on the use of SFTP vis-à-vis A3 modding. I assume this is to publish to workshop, or any other resource?

Thanks!
