Vscode Generator Code
This project is a command-line utility designed to automate the initialization and scaffolding of new software development projects. It provides a standardized framework for generating the directory structures and configuration files necessary to begin building custom extensions for the Visual Studio Code editor.
The tool utilizes a modular generator framework to execute predefined templates, allowing users to customize their project setup through command-line flags. It supports the selection of specific package managers, bundling tools, and initialization settings to ensure a consistent starting point for development tasks.
To maintain a clean host system, the generator supports executing the scaffolding process within an isolated container. This approach prevents dependency pollution by ensuring that the required build tools and runtime environments are managed within a virtualized environment rather than being installed directly on the host machine.
