Useful links

The Void team put together this list of links to get up and running with VSCode's sourcecode. We hope it's helpful!

Beginners / Getting started

VSCode UI guide - covers auxbar, panels, etc.
UX guide - covers Containers, Views, Items, etc.

Contributing

How VS Code's sourcecode is organized - this explains where the entry point files are, what browser/ and common/ mean, etc. This is the most important read on this whole list! We recommend reading the whole thing.
Every command built-in to VSCode - sometimes useful to reference.

VSCode's Extension API

Void is mainly an extension right now, and these links were very useful for us to get set up.

Files you need in an extension.
An extension's package.json schema.
"Contributes" Guide - the "contributes" part of package.json is how an extension mounts.
The Full VSCode Extension API - look on the right side for organization. The bottom of the page is easy to miss but is useful - cancellation tokens, events, disposables.
Activation events you can define in package.json (not the most useful)
