@LaurentPlagne, first, thank you for your nice words. However let me say it directly: Integrating PackageMaker.jl into VSCode is at best at the very bottom of my list of priorities. It is supposedly (supposedly, as I have no idea how implement it - do you?) quite a lot of programming to save a few keystrokes for a fraction of potential users.
May I shamelessly suggest the following procedure for Julia introductions:
- install juliaup
- install VSCode (extension)
- set up global git user names & mail (this part would be nice and not that difficult to integrate into PackageMaker.jl )
- install Revise.jl & ShareAdd.jl into the main environment
using ShareAdd; @usingany PackageMaker, select the default name for the new shared env, which would be@PackageMaker- on a slow computer, you now get a couple of minutes to make an espresso, while some 150 packages gets precompiled
- create a package “for local use”
- start coding (and testing) your functions inside the newly created package
- voila!
