Pymakr

Pymakr is used for connecting to the ESP32 dev board and providing a way to upload and download code, as well as interacting with the terminal. To use it you can use buttons on the status bar on the bottom. If they are not displayed, you might need to enable them by right clicking on the status bar and enabling them.

Gitmoji

The extension is represented by an emoji button when using source control, and can be used very easily.
