Contribute

1. From the root of the repo run npm run initdev. This will pull down the necessary modules and TypeScript declare files.
2. Run npm run build:tasks to compile the build tasks
3. Run npm run package:tasks to create a .vsix extension package that includes the build tasks

If you make a change to one or more of the actual tasks, you need to update the task(s) version in the appropriate task.json file. You can also run setTaskVersion.js and pass version to apply to all tasks, for example:

node scripts/setTaskVersion.js 1.1.71
