I have a publisher ID on the vscode marketplace. Would it be helpful if I
publish this context extension to vscode on the marketplace? Is it open
source, and do I have permission to do this? I have spent the past 4
months writing an extension of my own and so the vscode API is still fresh
in my mind. Is there a repo for this extension online? What is its URL?
