ignore changes in package-lock.json file

I believe, that this will fix your pipeline completely.
Here, how it works for me: https://github.com/grianbrcom/code4z/runs/4335640531?check_suite_focus=true
It fails for me because I don't have the credentials to publish the vsix package.

The last command has to be edited in order for this to be working properly.

Something along the lines:

    - name: Publish
      run: npx vsce publish
      env:
        VSCE_PAT: ${{ secrets.MARKETPLACE_PAT }}

However I do not have access to secrets in this repository so I am unable to check how is the Personal Access Token named or if it even exists.

Also, in order for the semantic release to work, future commits have to follow the conventional commits specification: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
That is also the reason why the git add command fails - the semantic-release run doesn't produce any changes, since there are no fix: or feat: commits.

I agree that the latest command must be fixed. But have no idea what we need to put here too.

But I use chore: prefix and this is a valid conventional commit format. git add can't fail because of the commit name.

We just need to find someone who has admin rights to this repo and find out what is the name of the secret/add it. Then the command I have written probably will work.

chore: does not cause the semantic release to up the version and produce changelog. If there are no changes in the repo, then the git add SHOULD fail - no changes to be commited and no new version to be released and published.
