Vim for VSCode

Cloning from github and running Vim for VS Code

As per CONTRIBUTING.md on the github repository.

First: clone sources from github

PS> cd ~/.vscode/extensions
PS> git clone https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim
PS> cd Vim

yarn install

PS> yarn install

The last command (yarn install) seems to fetch some packages(?) into the sub directory node_module.

npx gulp build

PS> npx gulp build

[21:20:15] Finished 'build' after 1.28 min

This command (npx gulp build) adds a __metadata key to package.json and creates some files in the out directory:

extension.js
extension.js.LICENSE.txt
extension.js.map
extensionWeb.js
extensionWeb.js.LICENSE.txt
extensionWeb.js.map
version.txt

Finally: run Visual Studio Code

PS> code

Misc

CONTRIBUTING.md also lists commands to build a .vsix extension package etc.
