Open VSX

Hi can you push your extension to https://open-vsx.org/ in addition to VSCode Market Place so people using the FLOSS version could install it too?

I wrote an article on the subject.

unstale, I don't understand the utility of this bot for 95% of projects...

I unfortunately didn't notice this issue at first (made a duplicate) so I'm posting the text here, as I consider it may be helpful, but TL; DR: OpenVSX is great and I'm one of the maintainers, I can help or answer any questions 😄.

A big hello to the VS Code Ruby team 👋!
Unfortunately, Microsoft prohibits the usage of the MS Extension Marketplace by any other non-microsoft products. Because of this, we kindly ask you to take the ownership of your namespace in OpenVSX and publish there as well.
OpenVSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS Marketplace used by all other derivatives of VS Code like Gitpod, OpenVSCode, VSCodium, Theia based IDEs, and so on.
The docs for publishing the extension are here: eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions. Technically this should be straightforward. You get a token and call ovsx publish with it. For example, this is how RedHat publishes their java extension: redhat-developer/vscode-java@5d4f8d5/Jenkinsfile#L78-L82.
Please do let me know if you are open to receive a PR contributing a release GitHub Action both to MS marketplace and OpenVSX. I'd love to help out!

I still need to wire up Github Actions for release to both (it's planned). @filiptronicek do you have an example repo that does this?

@wingrunr21 Found one randomly on Open VSX homepage https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/.github/workflows/publish-extension-dendron.yml

@filiptronicek do you have an example repo that does this?

@wingrunr21 there are many, but for simpler extensions (which only depend on a couple of commands being executed) a pretty nice release action (with manual and automatic triggers, options for releasing just to certain ones) for creating GitHub Releases (with a .vsix file attached to it) and publishing to both of the Marketplaces can look like this one here: https://github.com/KamasamaK/vscode-cfml/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml

Thanks, as this project requires basically 2 extensions to be published (and I'm looking to wire it up to semantic release), I'll need to do some modifications.

Please do ping me if there is anything I can help with!
