yarn run rebuild
👉 NOTE! This will run a complete rebuild of the project.
Or to just run a quick build, use:
yarn run build
During development you can use a watcher to make builds on changes quick and easy. From a terminal, where you have cloned the repository, execute the following command:
yarn run watch
Or use the provided watch task in VS Code, execute the following from the command palette (be sure there is no > at the start):
task watch
This will first do an initial full build and then watch for file changes, compiling those changes incrementally, enabling a fast, iterative coding experience.
👉 Tip! You can press CMD+SHIFT+B (CTRL+SHIFT+B on Windows, Linux) to start the watch task.
👉 Tip! You don't need to stop and restart the development version of Code after each change. You can just execute Reload Window from the command palette.

GitLens version changes are bucketed into two types:
minor: normal release (new features, enhancements and fixes)patch: hotfix release (just fixes)
Note: major version bumps are only considered for more special circumstances.
All recent changes are listed under ## [Unreleased]. This title and corresponding link at the bottom of the page will need to be updated.
The title should be updated to the upcoming version and the release date (YYYY-MM-DD):
<!-- from: -->
## [Unreleased]
<!-- to: -->
## [12.1.0] - 2022-06-14Stage this file so it will be included with the version commit.
Run yarn version and enter the upcoming version when prompted.
Once the commit is completed, run git push --follow-tags to push the version commit and the newly generated tags.
After the version commit and new tags are pushed to GitHub, the Publish Stable workflow will be triggered, which will automatically package the extension and deploy it to the VS Marketplace. The release notes should be generated during the action, but if not, this can be done manually using the notes from the Change Log.
If the action fails, the VSIX will need to be built locally with yarn package and uploaded manually in the marketplace.
The Publish Pre-release workflow is automatically run every AM unless no new changes have been committed to main.
The Publish Insiders workflow is automatically run every AM unless no new changes have been committed to main.
