Contributions are always welcome!

Developing the extension

The development setup, debugging, formatting, linting, and testing instructions live with the source in CONTRIBUTING.md. In short:

git clone https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R.git
cd vscode-R
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile # install required packages for vscode-R
code . # run VS Code

Then test your changes:

• In VS Code: 'File' -> 'Open Folder...' and select 'vscode-R' (the directory with your edits)
• Select Launch Extension in Run and Debug, then press F5
• A new VS Code window should open, with '[Extension Development Host]' in the title bar. This is running your modified version of vscode-R

Editing this documentation

This site is built with VitePress from the Markdown files in the website/docs directory. Every documentation page has an Edit this page on GitHub link at the bottom.

To preview the site locally:

cd website
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm run docs:dev

website is a standalone pnpm project with its own lockfile, so it does not affect the dependencies of the extension itself.
