Making changes and pushing releases

• make new branch and make changes
• npm run all
• git commit/push changes
• make PR back to main
• wait for pipelines to finish (test will always finish with an error since this isn't a nx monorepo)
• git checkout main
• git pull
• git tag v1
• SKIP_HOOKS=true git push origin v1
• in github, edit tag and save (this will push to marketplace)

NPM Check

npm run npm:check
