NOTE: This is currently not possible as the ComputerCraft API autocomplete extension by JackMacWindows is not currently on the Open VSX Registry, tho I have opened an Issue regarding that just now, hopefully he will publish it there as well so that this becomes possible as well. 🤞
edit: ComputerCraft API autocomplete extension has now been added to open-vsx as well! owner comment, open-vsx page.

It would be super nice if you could also publish this extension on the Open VSX Registry as people using VSCodium (Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VS Code) cannot legally use the Microsoft Marketplace so me and other users that use VSCodium need to manually go on the Microsoft Marketplace Website, find the estension there (here), click Download Extension then install the downloaded .vsix file like shown here which is quite an annoying and user unfriendly process.
To publish extensions on the Open VSX Registry there is this guide.

Thanks in advance and Especially Thanks for Making this Awesome Extension! :D

Thanks for the guide. That was an incredibly convoluted and unfriendly process! Hopefully all done: https://open-vsx.org/extension/lemmmy/computercraft-extension-pack

Thanks a lot for publishing to open-vsx! :D

Just one last thing, I suggest updating the links in the open-vsx version of your extension (computercraft-extension-pack) to point to the extensions and profiles on open-vsx instead of the [Microsoft Marketplace].(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode)

I am referring to these:

These are the respective open-vsx links:
ComputerCraft API autocomplete extension
JackMacWindows
Lua Language Server

Regarding Share Code by RolandGreim I have opened an Issue there and will try to make a new Issue in this repository it he publishes his extension on open-vsx as well.
