Build Process

We pretty much followed these instructions for building this extension. And this link for packaging the extension.

To summarize:

1. npm install -g yo generator-code
2. yo code
3. chose New Language Support and filled out the rest of the questions
4. npm install -g vsce
5. update the readme and package.json
6. vsce package
7. code --install-extension vscode-nushell-lang-0.0.2.vsix or alternatively you can do ctrl/cmd-shift-p Extensions:Install From VSIX...

If you have all these tools already installed you should be able to clone this repo and just do a vsce package to get a vsix file that you can install in vscode.
